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.
