Water Baptism: A Pagan and Jewish Rite but not Christian, Proven by Scripture and History Confirmed by the Lives of Saints Who Were Never Baptized with Water
James H. Moon's 1907 book argues water baptism originated in pagan and Jewish rites, not Christian ones.
In 'Water Baptism: A Pagan and Jewish Rite but not Christian, Proven by Scripture and History Confirmed by the Lives of Saints Who Were Never Baptized with Water,' James H. Moon presents a historical and scriptural argument that baptism by water is a practice with roots predating Christianity. Moon asserts that the rite was adopted from pagan and Jewish traditions, and that its Christian application is a departure from its original meaning. He supports this claim by examining scripture and historical accounts, extending his argument to the lives of certain saints whom he states were never baptized with water. The book challenges common understandings of a sacrament central to many religious traditions. Moon's work aims to uncover the deeper symbolism and historical lineage of baptismal rituals. He invites readers to reconsider the origins and significance of religious ceremonies through the lens of esoteric and historical analysis. The text is structured to encourage critical thought about established religious practices and their evolution over time.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Glad I finally picked this up.
This edition finally does the material justice. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. A keeper.
Exactly what I was looking for. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm.
