Should babies be baptized? This book contains a comprehensive examination of every text of Scripture relating to the subject of baptism, with special references to those used as prooftexts for the baptism of babies. Also, the historical evidence of the first two centuries of the Christian era is thoroughly surveyed. Next, the author presents a detailed criticism of each of the arguments used by Protestants in favour of baptizing babies. Mr. Watson skillfully marshals nearly 200 quotations from over sixty noted infant-baptist authors, to the effect that every argument used by Christians of that persuasioin is refuted by others of the same opinion.
