Synopsis

Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Scriptural Authority, Nature, and Uses, of Infant Baptism

The work which is now presented to the public may be considered as a substitute for that part of the former which immediately regarded the subject Of the Abrahamic covenant and baptism. It is, however, in almost all respects, a new work. The discussions are cleared from all the foreign matter, with which they were unavoidably associated by the passages on which the lectures were founded. The reasonings are, by this means, rendered more distinct and con secutive. The subject is treated more at large, in all its parts, and especially in some which before were hardly, if at all, touched upon. To the whole train Of argument an arrangement has been given, such as, it is hoped, may render it plain and easily followed, and may serve to free the subject of it from some portion at least of the confusion and difficulty, in which, to not a few minds, it has always appeared to be involved. Some of the leading Objections, more over, have been met, and, to my own satisfaction at least, exposed; - and what is said, in the third section, of the uses of infant baptism, is wholly new.

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.
