The author discusses a very current issue: More often than not, baptism for the dead is considered an unnecessary, ill-advised, or even contemptible practice by traditional Christians. In a Christian world where people are not persuaded that baptism in the flesh is necessary for entrance into the Lord's Church and thus essential to salvation (or where baptism is viewed as an extraneous and inessential work that somehow undercuts or compromises the saving grace of the Lord), members of the Church of Jesus Christ should not be surprised about some of the reactions we receive. The author discusses in turn various arguments concerning the problem.
