Children and the Church: "Do Not Hinder Them" - Paperback

by William Den Hollander (Editor), Gerhard Visscher (Editor)

What position should the children of believers have in the church today? And how should this affect the ways in which we nurture them? The authors of this volume defend infant baptism as they share the conviction that children of believers belong to God, and thus ought to be baptized and treated as members of the church, wherein they are called to faith and obedience along with the adults. The contributions in this volume substantiate this foundational conviction through investigations in Scripture and history, and make it clear that the matter of children in the church remains a pressing concern, worthy of our continued attention and energy.
