Arguments for infant baptism, grounded in scripture and reason, with a detailed examination of its mode and meaning.
In this exposition, the author presents a thorough case for infant baptism, treating it as a sign and seal of God’s covenant and a formal recognition of church membership. The work discusses how baptism relates to the Abrahamic covenant, its role in church life, and its practical implications for both children and adults within the Christian community. The analysis also delves into interesting philological questions about the Greek prepositions and terminology used with baptism, arguing for interpretations that support affusion or sprinkling over immersion.
Readers will encounter a historical survey of baptismal practice, arguments for the continuity of the covenant, and a careful defense of infant baptism against common objections. The text blends doctrinal reflection with exegetical critique to illuminate how baptism functions as a meaningful, enduring expression of faith and membership in the visible church.
Ideal for readers interested in church history, covenant theology, and debates over baptism practices.
