Valuable Study
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The doctrine of infant baptism has been a controversial one in the churches of the Reformation. Many denominations argue that the doctrine lacks Biblical foundation. To address this question Geoffrey Bromiley wrote this concise study of the question some years ago. It's good to see this book in print again. As Bromiley notes there is no question that adults who come to faith out of paganism are to be baptized. The issue is whether children of believers should be baptized. While the New Testament doesn't explicitly say "yes," there are good reasons to support the practice. Most importantly, if the children of believers are members of the church, then it follows that they should be baptized. Particularly strong is Bromiley's linking of the practice of infant baptism to a Calvinist approach to predestination. This is a brief, but rewarding book on a controversial subject.
