The Lord Command to Baptise

"The Lord Command to Baptise" is a rigorous theological investigation into the scriptural origins and doctrinal significance of the mandate given by Jesus Christ to His disciples. Written by Bernard Heney Cuneo, this scholarly work focuses on the exegesis of the Great Commission as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew and other New Testament texts. The author provides a meticulous analysis of the baptismal formula and the historical practice of the early Church, exploring the linguistic and dogmatic nuances of the command to initiate believers into the faith through water and the Holy Spirit.

As a profound contribution to sacramental theology, the work bridges the gap between biblical scholarship and ecclesiological tradition. It examines the authority behind the command, the development of baptismal rites, and the role of the sacrament as the foundational entrance into the Christian community. By synthesizing traditional teachings with academic inquiry, "The Lord Command to Baptise" serves as an essential resource for theologians, historians, and students of religious studies interested in the evolution of Christian ritual and the biblical foundations of the Catholic faith. The book offers a clear and scholarly perspective on one of the most vital injunctions in Christian scripture, emphasizing its enduring importance to the identity and mission of the Church.
