Chapter 1: The Baptismal Ecclesiology of Louis Weil

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of Weil's ecclesiological framework, beginning with his seminal work, "The Origin of the Church." Weil argued that baptism, as the moment of incorporation into the body of Christ, is the foundational event that establishes the Church.
