Infant Baptism - Covenant Mercy for the People of God Written by Douglas Wilson The debate over infant baptism should begin where the problem does - with our children. The issue of baptism operates against the backdrop of the divine promises to Christian parents. Only after we understand parenthood can we properly turn to a discussion of covenantal baptism. Between the Testaments we find total and complete continuity on the subject of godly parenting. This book offers a fresh approach to the discussion, avoiding arguments that merely show infant baptism to be consistent with Scripture (numerous reference to Scripture allow the reader to see the foundation for the author's position). Such a task requires an approach that begins with shared premises of parenting. On the book's back cover, we read, "In order for us to be satisfied that we are being Biblical Christians, we must be content with nothing less than a clear biblical case requiring infant baptism."
