Infant Baptism: A Part and Pillar of Popery (Classic Reprint)

Infant Baptism: A Part and Pillar of Popery (Classic Reprint)

Infant baptism is presented here as a central link to Popery, urging readers to reexamine its place in Protestant practice. This edition reframes a classic polemic to show how the practice, when left unchecked, is argued to undermine gospel clarity and church reform. The text argues that infant baptism carries a germ of Roman Catholic theology into Protestant churches, affecting doctrine, church government, and the relationship between church and state. It also traces the influence of this practice through historical movements, including the Reformation and figures like Luther, to explain why reformers faced ongoing challenges. What you will experience: Clear statements about the link between baptism and perceived ecclesiastical authority. A historical account of how Pedobaptism has been viewed within Protestant communities. Editorial notes that adapt an older work for modern readers while preserving its arguments. Ideal for readers of religious history and polemics who want to understand how church practices intersect with tradition and power.
