A detailed, polemical discussion of baptism practices and scriptural reasoning.

This work presents two letters to a church leader on Christian baptism, paired with occasional notes on a contemporary treatise. It surveys arguments for and against infant baptism and examines how early Christian practice is described and interpreted.

Follow-through on major objections to infant baptism and the defense of baptism by immersion as seen in historical debates.
References and quotations from diverse authors are examined to test the strength of each side’s claims.
A critical look at how biblical passages and church tradition have been used to support different baptism practices.
Clear, point-by-point argumentation aimed at readers interested in Baptist and pedobaptist discussions.

Ideal for readers of religious history, doctrinal dispute, and early church debates who want a closer look at how arguments around baptism were shaped in this era.
