Synopsis

Discover a scripture-based defense of infant baptism and the everlasting covenant.

This concise, church‑centered work argues that the covenant of grace opened wide to the youngest in the faith, presenting infants as rightful participants through baptism. It traces the gospel from the fall to Christ, showing how baptism enters all families into God’s promises and renews them in Christian life. Clear, accessible language invites readers to reconsider how the church welcomes children into its covenant community.

Drawn from biblical study and patristic testimony, the book explains how the covenant has always included the infants of God’s people. It connects Old Testament signs with New Testament practice, arguing that baptism fulfills the same gracious pattern as circumcision did for earlier generations. The author emphasizes continuity, mercy, and the universal reach of God’s promises, inviting readers to reflect on worship, baptismal faith, and lifelong discipleship.

  • Understand how infant baptism is presented as part of God’s ongoing covenant with his people.
  • See how New Testament teaching aligns with Old Testament signs of inclusion for families.
  • Explore the theological links between baptism, regeneration, and the Holy Spirit.
  • Learn how the church has understood the mission to “disciple all nations” in relation to children.
