A critical voice challenges Dr. Woods on infant baptism and believer’s baptism.
This compact, scholarly debate collects a series of animadversions on methods, tradition, and scriptural interpretation in the infant baptism controversy. It scrutinizes key claims about what the Bible requires, how tradition should influence belief, and whether both infant and believer’s baptism can be reconciled without conflict.
Readers follow a careful argument through topics like the authority of scripture, the use of inference and tradition, and historical accounts of baptism practices. The text weighs the evidence for and against infant baptism and explores the implications for church practice and parental vows. It presents a detailed look at arguments about the meaning of key biblical passages and the evolution of baptismal customs.
Ideal for readers interested in historical debates on baptism, church practice, and the interplay of scriptural interpretation and tradition.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book navigates the contentious theological dispute over infant baptism. The author argues that the Scriptures do not support infant baptism, and finds no authority for the practice in the Abrahamic, Mosaic, or Christian covenants. Those covenants promised blessings to believers and their descendants, but through faith, not baptism. The author posits that the commission to 'make disciples, baptizing them' was meant for believers, and not their children, and that while both Old and New Testament scriptures use the term 'disciple' for people young and old, they never include children or infants in the meaning of the term. The book concludes that infant baptism is rooted in Jewish tradition, not scriptural authority, and that it is a practice lacking biblical support.
