baptism for the dead  

Définition

  • A single verse in the Bible speaks of baptism for the dead: Chapter 15 verse 29 of Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, itself the longest focused textual reflection on death in the New Testament. This entry explores this much ignored verse, the imagery of death in ordinary Christian baptism, and how vicarious baptism became foundational within Mormonism and fostered its program of genealogy.
