Plain Scripture Proof of Infants Church-Membership and Baptism (Classic Reprint): Being the Arguments Prepared for (and Partly Managed In) the Publick ... the First Day of Jan. 1649 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A reasoned, historical debate on infant baptism and church membership, presented from a Puritan perspective.
This edition presents Richard Baxter’s prepared arguments from a public dispute with Mr. Tombes in Bewdley, January 1649, on whether infants should be baptized and admitted to church membership. It frames a careful, text‑based examination of early modern Baptist and Puritan viewpoints, with a focus on scriptural interpretation and church practice.
Readers will encounter direct argument, counterpoint, and careful defense of positions surrounding infant baptism, covenantal language, and the role of infants in the church. The material shows how 17th‑century theologians debated discipline, baptism, and the meaning of being a member of the visible church.
- Context for a historic religious controversy between Baxter and Tombes
- Key passages and arguments about infant baptism and church membership
- Clarifications of scriptural references and their use in polemics
- Historical insights into 17th‑century Puritan debate and practice
Ideal for readers interested in early modern Christian debates, Puritan theology, and the history of baptism practices.

About the Author
Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was a prominent English churchman and peacemaker who sought unity among Protestants. Born in Rowton to parents who undervalued education, he was largely self-taught. At age twenty-three he was ordained into the Church of England. Baxter became even better known for his prolific writing, with more than two hundred works to his name. His devotional classic, "The Saints' Everlasting Rest", was one of the most widely read books of the century. When asked what deviations should be permitted from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, he created an entirely new one, "Reformed Liturgy", in two weeks. His autobiography and his pastoral guide, "The Reformed Pastor", are still widely read today.
