Excerpt from A History of the Origin of the Mysteries and Doctrines of Baptism and the Eucharist: As Introduced Into the Church of Rome and the Church of England; And Their Jewish and Heathen Origin The accompanying work has been the labour of a life, the product of much thought and of forty years' patient and un wearying research. It has been also a labour of love, inasmuch as it is the object of the writer, at the close of a long and useful life, to present to others the arguments, unanswerable to his own mind, which have led him to see the unsoundness of a belief in the sacramental efficacy of Water Baptism and the Eucharist. In this belief he was himself brought up, and it is a portion of the creed of the Roman and Anglican Churches, and to a greater or smaller extent, of most forms of Protestant Dissent. He was thus led to the conviction of the scriptural soundness of the entire disuse of these ceremonies as taught by the Society of Friends, and by some obscure and so-called heretical sects of Early Christendom.

In early Victorian England there was intense interest in understanding the early Church as an inspiration for contemporary sanctity. This was manifested in a surge in archaeological inquiry and also in the construction of new churches using medieval models. Some Anglicans began to use a much more complicated form of ritual involving vestments, candles, and incense. This "Anglo-Catholic" movement was vehemently opposed by evangelicals and dissenters, who saw this as the vanguard of full-blown "popery." The disputed buildings, objects, and art works were regarded by one side as idolatrous and by the other as sacred and beautiful expressions of devotion. Dominic Janes seeks to understand the fierce passions that were unleashed by the contended practices and artifacts - passions that found expression in litigation, in rowdy demonstrations, and even in physical violence. During this period, Janes observes, the wider culture was preoccupied with the idea of pollution caused by improper sexuality. The Anglo-Catholics had formulated a spiritual ethic that linked goodness and beauty. Their opponents saw this visual worship as dangerously sensual. In effect, this sacred material culture was seen as a sexual fetish. The origins of this understanding, Janes shows, lay in radical circles, often in the context of the production of anti-Catholic pornography which titillated with the contemplation of images of licentious priests, nuns, and monks.
