This volume includes not only a theological and historical introduction to the history of Christian baptism, but also an English translation of two treatises by St. Basil the Great on both baptism and confirmation. Francis Kenrick discusses the mystery or sacrament of baptism from the days of John the Baptist to the later Christian era, covering topics of interest such as the necessity of baptism, the baptism of infants, and the various baptismal modes. The treatises from St. Basil cover both Christian baptism and the rite of confirmation or chrismation.
