Description

The subject of infant baptism is undoubtedly a delicate and difficult one … But this should not make members of the Church of England shrink from holding made up our minds opinions on the subject. That church has declared plainly in its Articles that ‘the baptism of young children is in any wise to be retained, as most agreeable with the institution of Christ.’ To this opinion we need not be afraid to adhere.” J. C. Ryle This book aims to help Anglican Evangelicals get better that same gracious yet unashamed confidence shown by Bishop Ryle in the nineteenth century. The authors defend biblically the doctrine of infant baptism and its proper evangelical practice within the Church of England. They expound a covenantal understanding which has impeccable evangelical credentials with a view to reassure a new generation of Anglican Evangelical ‘paedobaptists’ that theirs is no new or odd doctrine, and to persuade those who would possibly not have fully appreciated the Reformed heritage we in the Church of England enjoy. Dr. John R. W. Stott CBE is Rector Emeritus of All Souls, Langham Place in London and during the last 60 years has been one of the vital influential leaders of evangelicalism around the globe. Dr. J. Alec Motyer is the former Principal of Trinity College, Bristol, and was once for many years incumbent of St. Luke’s, West Hampstead and later minister of Christ Church, Westbourne Lee Gatiss is Associate Minister of St. Helen’s Bishopsgate and Editor of The Theologian (www.theologian.org.uk).
