DOCTRINAL
Baptism, Election & the Covenant of Grace
Jesus Loves the Little Children
Dr. R. Scott Clark
Of all the doctrines and practices of historic Christian churches, whether Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Reformed, the baptism of children can be one of the most difficult, especially for those who grew up in non-denominational Protestant churches where infant baptism was not practiced. Dr. Michael Horton of Westminster Seminary California comments: “Well-informed and immensely practical, this is the book that I will recommend first when parents ask, why should I baptize my child?”
On the face of it, the Reformed understanding of our Lord’s command to make disciples and to baptize them and their children seem clear. Here, Dr. Clark presents his view of Federal Vision and the dangers it presents to the Reformed faith.
