Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of baptism, focusing on the development of the practice in England. It traces the adoption of baptism from the time of Christ and his apostles through to its establishment as an integral part of the Christian tradition in the 17th century. The author argues that the English Baptists held the genuine principles of the Reformation, and pursued them to their logical consequences. The book presents evidence to suggest that infant baptism was a later innovation, and that the early British Christians practiced adult baptism. This work offers a fresh perspective on the history of baptism, and sheds new light on the origins of the English Baptist denomination. It is a valuable resource for scholars and laypeople alike, providing a deeper understanding of the development of Christian practices and beliefs.
