WhatSaintPaulMayHaveMeanf

ByPhrase,

'BaptisedfortheDead'

Aletterfrom"Charles," ofMaylands verybrief andtothepoint:

"Wouldyoumindgiving meyourexplanationofI. Cor.,15:20?"

A.:You'vechosen,"Charles,"oneofthemostpuzzlingpassagesofSacred Scripture,andoneofwhich nowhollysatisfactoryexplanationhasbeengiven. However,beforewelaunch outintoanyattemptedexplanation,letusread throughthepassageforthe sakeoflistenerslesswell acquaintedwithit.

"Otherwise,whatshallthey dothatarebaptisedfor thedead,ifthedeadrise notagainatall?Whyare theythenbaptisedfor them?"

Itisthephrase"Baptisedforthedead:'thatisthe sourceofallthediscussion inthismatter,andIcannot claimtogiveadefinitive explanation.Thephraseis usuallysupposedtoreferto theunorthodoxpracticeof beingbaptised,asitwere, byproxy,onbehalfofthose

whohaddiedunbaptised; butifthatisso,it'isodd thatSt.Paulinnowayreprovesthemforsucha practice.Morelikely,perhaps,isthesuggestionput forwardbytheauthorsof theWestminsterVersion, amongstothers,thatthey usedsomeceremonyasan intercessionontheirbehalf. Others,e.g.,FatherMarco Sales,O.P.,thinkitmeans death-bedbaptism,asa proofofthedyingman's beliefintheResurrection.

Ontheotherhand,itispossiblethatitreferstothe "dailydeath(v.31)sufferedbytheChristian,who is"baptisedintothedeath ofChrist"(Rom.6,3),and soshareshissuffering. Lastly,itisquiteprobable thatthesenseisironic:As ifSt.Paulhadwritten: "Whatarethosewretched peoplegoingtodowhoget baptisedonlytodieand justremaindead?Whatis thegoodofitifthereisno resurrection?Baptismis notworthwhileifthatis whattheythink!"

MalachitheProphet'sReference

ToEliasAppliedtotheBaptist

"Charles"hasanother Scribeshad question: "Doesthis(I.Cor..15,20 inanywayhaveanyconnectionwithMalachi4,5, 6?"

A.:Again,forthesakeof clarity,wemustquotethe passageconcerned:

"BeholdIwillsendyou Eliastheprothet,before thecomingofthegreat anddreadfuldayofthe Lord.Andheshallturn theheartofthefathersto thechildrenandtheheart ofthechildrentotheir fathers:lestIcomeand striketheearthwithanathema."

Now,youask,hasthat anyconnectionwiththe "baptisedforthedead"ofI. Cor.?Thereply:Idon't thinkso.Yousee,Malachiis,writingwithquite anotherideainmind.AddressingthosewhoareimpatientforGod'scoming (2,17),hepromises(3,1f.) thatGodwillcomeinpersontorenew,anddoubtlesstoperfect,theancient pactwithHispeople.This HedoesthroughHismessenger(His"angel"),who appearstobeidenticalwith Himandyetdistinctfrom Him.Thiscomingisprecededbythatofanother "angel,"whosemissionis oneofpreparatoryconversion.Thissecondmessengeriscalled"Eliasthe prophet."

Thepropheticwordsare clearlymessianic,andtell ofthecomingofasecond Moses,mediatorofanew alliance,whowastobePrecededbyamessengerwho wouldprepareheartsfor thegreatdayofHiscoming.Malachihadcalled thismessenger"Elias,"{and

no deepermeaningwhenthey expoundedthetextsinthe synagogues.TheApostles, therefore,werepuzzled whenElias'appearedatthe Transfigurationonlytodisappearagain.Itwasleft toOurLordtoexpoundthe profoundermeaningof Malachi'ssentence. Side bysidewithMoses,the greatLawgiver,Eliasappearedasthegreatchampionofthepurereligionof Israel,toshowthatJesus washismasterinthesame cause.Butthe"Elias"who wastocomebeforethe greatdayhadalreadydone hiswork.Malachihadnot spokenofEliasintheflesh, butofonewhowouldwork asardentlyasEliashad doneforthetruecauseof God,ofanElias"inspirit." ThiswasSt.JohntheBaptist,of said:whomtheangelhad "Heshallgobefore theLordinthespiritand powerofElias"(Lk.1,7).

Thislengthyexplanation mayseemtobequitebesidethepoint. Igiveit mainlytoshowwhyIcan seenoconnectionbetween thepassagesyouquote.It ispossible,"Charles,"that youcanseesomeconnection.Whatisit?Ifyou willletmeknowImightbe abletodiscussthematter further.

Thenextletterisalsoa shortone:
