Overview

This volume presents John Spilsbury’s apologetic work on baptism. Spilsbury argues against the theology of paedobaptism, stating “that the spirituality of the new covenant in Christ eliminated the possibility of an infant’s participation in it.” The text examines the covenant God made with Abraham and his descendants, and suggests that “the covenant, and not baptism, forms the church, and the manner how.”
