Description
Perhaps no command of Christ has caused so much controversy, division, bitterness and cruelty as this one. Today, persecution between Christians over the issue has largely ceased yet we still disagree. In this book a Baptist and an Anglican get together to face the issue squarely and create understanding between those who disagree. Donald Bridge and David Phypers explain the arguments for and against both infant baptism and baptism of adult converts only. They subject both to the teaching of the New Testament, then they set the controversy in its historical context, with special emphasis on the Reformation and Puritan periods.
