A reasoned, historical debate on infant baptism and church membership, presented from a Puritan perspective.
This edition presents Richard Baxter’s prepared arguments from a public dispute with Mr. Tombes in Bewdley, January 1649, on whether infants should be baptized and admitted to church membership. It frames a careful, text‑based examination of early modern Baptist and Puritan viewpoints, with a focus on scriptural interpretation and church practice.
Readers will encounter direct argument, counterpoint, and careful defense of positions surrounding infant baptism, covenantal language, and the role of infants in the church. The material shows how 17th‑century theologians debated discipline, baptism, and the meaning of being a member of the visible church.
Ideal for readers interested in early modern Christian debates, Puritan theology, and the history of baptism practices.
