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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. 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.
