Very interesting book. Two paedobaptist authors versed in patristic doctrine display how modern arguments for infant baptism make misleading arguments from cherry-picked quotations of the church fathers stripped of context, while ignoring other texts from these same authors that give leverage towards believer’s baptism.

Clement, Tertullian, the Didache, etc. display credobaptism so far from the book’s author.

Josiah Cook You should read Baptism in the First Four Centuries by Joachim Jeremias next. Also, Bryan Holstrom has a good history section in Infant Baptism and the Silence of the New Testament where he shows some places Stander and Louw miss.

Joshua Bethay I chuckled when I posted my update and then scrolled to see you had finished the book yourself just a couple hours ago.

Hope you’re doing well!
