description: Baptism in the Early Church by two internationally known and highly regarded classical scholars members of paedobaptist churches present a dispassionate examination of the problem based on a careful treatment of primary sources. They approach the issue from their area of specialty and expertise through the discipline of classical historiography not denominational polemics and produce a work singularly authoritative.Essentially they argue that infant baptism was not the practice of the Apostles and their immediate successors but developed through the convergence of several factors. It demonstrates that believers baptism did not simply disappear after the apostolic era but continued to be the accepted position for centuries.
