This is not an exhaustive study of Luther's complete doctrine on baptism. It only explores his views on this sacrament which, according to his thesis, is held in captivity by the Roman doctrine on baptism. It is found that Luther, in this work, shifts the existing emphasis on the sacramental elements to the primacy of the Word and faith in that redemptive Word.14 pagesPDFAfrikaansFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaLuther, Martin, 1483-1546 -- Baptism in the name of JesusLuther, Martin, 1483-1546Article
