About this title

Synopsis

"Conversations On Infant Baptism, And, Some Popular Objections Against The Church Of The United Kingdom" by Charles Jerram presents a dialogue-driven examination of infant baptism within the Church of England. The work unfolds as a series of conversations between a minister and a parishioner who wrestle with the scriptural basis for infant baptism, the arguments used by Baptists to oppose it, and the proper relationship between Scripture, church practice, and tradition. Across debates on the necessity of faith, the role of infant membership, and the modes of baptism (immersion, affusion, sprinkling), the text defends infant baptism by appealing to apostolic practice, covenant theology, and inferences drawn from New Testament passages. It also discusses the continuity of the Jewish ritual framework into Christian practice, the governance of the Church, and the state’s involvement in ecclesiastical affairs. The work aims to equip lay readers with reasoned arguments in defense of established rites and the Church of England’s historical stance on baptism and doctrine.
