"Baxter’s first major controversial masterpiece, initially published in London by Robert White in 1651 (with highly sought-after expanded editions following in 1653 and 1656). This text is a cornerstone of 17th-century Puritan covenant theology, serving as the definitive defense of paedobaptism (infant baptism) against the rising tide of the Particular Baptist movement during the English Interregnum. The book originated from a famous, highly charged public debate held on New Year's Day, 1649, at Bewdley Church between Baxter and John Tombes, the leading Baptist theologian of the era. Baxter spent decades expanding this text into a massive, systematic compendium to completely answer all of Tombes's subsequent printed rebuttals." Contains frontispiece portrait of Baxter.
