Excerpt from An Outline of the Argument Against the Validity of Lay-Baptism
The Author of this Outline is aware that some apology may be thought necessary for bring ing forth, into the Open arena Of public discussion, a subject, which has been suffered to repose in nu broken silence during the whole period that has elapsed since the independent organization of the Church in America. It is true that the subject has not been wholly unheeded; that the principles ad vocated in these pages have been secretly and quietly gaining ground; and that they have been practically carried out in many instances within the last few years; but still noiselessly and almost invisibly. Nor would the present writer have taken upon himself the responsibility Of disturbing the even tenor Of their way, had he not been con strained so to do by the instinctive impulse of self defence, as well as by a sense Of Official responsi bility.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, the product of careful analysis and extensive research, delves into an important question of doctrine and discipline in the Christian Church: the validity of Lay-Baptism. It situates the debate within the context of the broader history of Christianity, drawing insights from the early Church Fathers, the development of the Church's liturgical practices, and the arguments put forth by both supporters and opponents of Lay-Baptism. The author, a scholar in ecclesiastical history, presents a thorough examination of the arguments for and against the practice, meticulously weighing the evidence from Scripture and tradition. The book not only provides a comprehensive analysis of the validity of Lay-Baptism but also sheds light on the nature of the sacraments, the role of ordained ministry, and the authority of the Church. It is an invaluable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the history and significance of Christian baptism.
