Synopsis

Discover arguments for infant baptism and how early Christians approached church membership and the covenant of faith.

The text examines Whether Infants Are Uncapable of Baptism? and related questions, presenting a historical and theological case for infant baptism. It argues that the church is an outward, visible fellowship and that baptism begins membership in this community. The discussion moves from the nature of the Abrahamic covenant to how faith and grace relate to infants, and it cites early Christian writers to show that infant baptism was practiced and regarded as fitting within the church’s unity.

  • How the Abrahamic covenant and faith relate to infants and their place in God’s promises
  • Evidence from early Christian writers and church practice about infant baptism
  • Arguments for baptism as an outward ordinance that initiates children into the church
  • How the apostles’ practice and interpretation of baptism support viewing infants as eligible participants
Ideal for readers of church history, early Christian theology, and debates on baptism practices.
