Editor's Note: John T. Christian wrote this book as a result of William H. Whitsitt's articles and book claiming 1641 as the beginning date for immersion as baptism by Baptists. -- Jim Duvall
Dr. Christian has certainly rendered valuable service in bringing to light many facts bearing on the history of the English Baptists in the 16th and 17th centuries. -- T. T. Eaton
"Thus the 1641 theory rests upon the presence of ten words in an anonymous manuscript, of which the earliest extant copy belongs to the year 1860, and this copy is itself at best a mere copy of a copy!" (Chapter VI, p. 62. -- John T. Christian)
