Synopsis

This thought-provoking study explores the longstanding debate on the theological validity of infant baptism, delving into historical practice and reasoning from the viewpoint of paedobaptists. The author argues that not only was infant baptism widely practiced before the New Testament era, as part of the Abrahamic covenant, but also that there is a lack of scriptural evidence suggesting a departure from this practice. Through a meticulous examination of the Old and New Testaments, the author presents a comprehensive case for the continuity of infant baptism within the Christian tradition. This book contributes to the ongoing discussion on the nature and significance of baptism, offering a fresh perspective on its historical foundations and theological implications.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Scriptural Authority, Nature, and Uses, of Infant Baptism So long ago as the year 1807, I published "Three Lectures on Romans iv. 9 - 25, designed chiefly to illustrate the nature of the Abrahamic Covenant, and its connection with Infant Baptism; with an Appendix, on the Mode of Baptism." - It was my first publication: and, after the lapse of seventeen years, I have seen very little reason to alter or to modify the general principles of that work. - A Review of it appeared, in the end of the same year, from the pen of the late Mr. Archibald Maclean of Edinburgh, a man held in just estimation, not by his own party only, but by all who knew him, for natural acuteness of intellect, close application to the study of the scriptures, and general consistency of character.
