In diesem Band stellt David John McCollough die weit verbreiteten Annahmen in Frage, dass Paulus dachte, der Geist werde durch die Wassertaufe vermittelt, dass "Rechtfertigung" nicht auf Erlebnissen beruhe und nichts mit Ritualen zu tun habe, dass Lukas inkohärent oder ein schlechter Redakteur gewesen sei und dass die Wassertaufe der wichtigste Initiationsritus der frühen Christenheit gewesen sei.
