Into the Name of the Lord Jesus

Book •
Lars Hartman's 'Into the Name of the Lord Jesus' investigates the historical and liturgical use of the baptismal invocation focused on Jesus' name in the early church.

The study explores New Testament evidence and patristic reception to make the case that the earliest baptismal practice centered on the name of Jesus Christ.

Hartman analyzes textual, liturgical, and historical data to trace how and when Trinitarian formulas emerged in church practice.

His work is often cited in debates over baptismal theology and the authenticity of later formulae like Matthew 28:19.

The book is aimed at scholars and students of early Christianity and sacramental theology.
