Johannes Seefried

Johannes Seefried was a German author whose life dates are given by Project Gutenberg as 1881–1956. The work most clearly linked to him online is Die Christliche Taufe im Lichte der hl. Schrift und der Geschichte von der Zeit ihrer Entstehung bis auf die Gegenwart, a book first published in 1914 and later digitized by Project Gutenberg.

That book presents baptism through both biblical interpretation and historical review. In its prefatory material, Seefried explains that he wrote it around his regular professional duties, and the text itself shows a strong interest in how Christian practice changed over time.

Reliable biographical detail about his personal life, career, and background is limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him primarily through this substantial theological work rather than through a fuller documented public biography.
