The surprising history of Romans 6 and baptism in the early Church available online

I have put my article, "The surprising history of Romans 6 and baptism in the early Church" online in a format that is easy to print and download.  Evidence from Romans 6 and Colossians 2 indicates that the first century AD Church shared the common understanding that through baptism a Christian was buried with Christ into his saving death. This is a dominate understanding in the fourth and fifth centuries. However, the Romans 6 theology seems to have been almost completely forgotten during the second century A.D.  The article is available through the link: The surprising history of Romans 6 and baptism in the early Church
