The Mode Of Christian Baptism Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Is the Mode Christian Baptism: Prescribed in the New Testament? If the question is asked - and It will be, many scores of times - "Why have the Baptists republished Prof. Stuart's work on Baptism?" we answer: - As a work of authority upon the subject of the primitive action of baptism, and the Scriptural warrant for infant baptism. Prof. Stuart was in his day the brightest luminary in the constellation of Pedobaptist scholars. He was the bright particular star of Andover, and shed over that seminary a halo of intellectual light. The charm of his name, his reputation for profound and varied scholarship, on both sides of the water, attracted students from the remotest sections of our Union, and for nearly half a century, with his students, as with Pedobaptists, appeals to his authority have been considered ultimate. It was not strange, then, that, during the whole period of his established scholarship, he should be frequently consulted with respect to the classical import and use of the terms "bapto" and "baptizo " and the Scriptural warrant for infant baptism, about which the Christian world was so much divided and, in his day, so violently agitated. To answer all these interrogatories at once and finally, to put upon record for an inquiring age, and to leave his testimony behind him for all time to come, influenced him to prepare the following treatise.
