Infant baptism is an issue that divides the largest Protestant
denomination from its sister denominations; and it remains, in many
churches, the subject of frequent and sometimes heated debate. This
is particularly the case in Reformation churches where the
influence of Baptist doctrine has caused members to question their
practice of baptizing infants. Children of Promise is Geoffrey
Bromiley's attempt to "get at the biblical understanding which
underlies the continuation of infant baptism in many of the
evangelical churches." In addition to examining the scriptural
basis for baptizing infants, Bromiley also considers the meaning of
baptism, the relation of baptism to the three persons of the
Trinity, and the question of the salvation of infants. A concluding
chapter presents a list of guidelines for churches to follow as
they examine the practice of baptizing infants. "This is a superb
little book, convincingly argued on biblical grounds and very well
presented in a clear, commendable, irenic style." - Thomas F.
Torrance Geoffrey W. Bromiley is professor emeritus of Church
History and Historical Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in
Pasadena, California.He is best known as the translator of numerous
theological books, including the 9-volume Theological Dictionary of
the New Testament.
