Overview

This succinct volume covers major issues surrounding the subject of baptism through several sermons and additional notes. Samuel Miller begins by presenting a positive case for infant baptism, and then answers objections from anti-paedobaptists. He also spends several sermons addressing the proper mode of baptism. His notes contain very helpful material, such as the background to the Westminster Assembly’s conclusion to affirm infant baptism, and explain various practices associated with baptism, including giving a name in baptism, sponsors in baptism, and confirmation. Miller also includes a section arguing against baptismal regeneration.

About Samuel Miller

John Williamson Nevin (1803–1886) was an American theologian and professor. He studied at Princeton University and was a professor of biblical literature at Western Theological Seminary in Allegheny, Pennsylvania and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church. Well-versed in German, he studied contemporary German theologians, and eventually converted to the German Reformed Church, accepting a position at the Church’s seminary in Mercersburg, PA. He and his colleagues developed a conservative doctrinal position eventually labeled the “Mercersburg Theology.”
