Paedobaptism HELP!

[Romans922]

My boss asked me yesterday for some help with this subject, is there any good and basic (really basic) articles on Covenant Theology as it has to do with Paedobaptism?

I found this article by Dennis Johnson to be extremely helpful - Infant Baptism: How My Mind Has Changed.

I remember reading that awhile back. It's probably the best popular-level, all-around, balanced article I've read on the issue as a whole.

Funny about Malone's critique of Children of the Promise.

I disagree with his assessment. He seems to portray Booth himself as though he's writing "down" to the typical reader - almost as though he is intending to be "deceptive". I may be wrong, but that's the impression I come away with.

Francis Schaeffer wrote a small primer on baptism. I can't remember what the title of it was but his logic was very sound. I've even talked to some Credos that said it was a good treatment of the subject from a Paedo POV.

Wish I could remember what the title was. It wasn't a large book just a small booklet. Haven't seen it on the bookshelves for a number of years.

Thanks. I was just looking it up when you posted the link.

I feel stupid now. It's been awhile since I read it and with so simple a title I just forgot I guess. I've read quite a bit of Schaeffer's stuff and I guess I was expecting a title along the lines of what you'd see in some of his other works, like Genesis in Space and Time, stuff like that.

The best one that I know of is the Formulary for the Baptism of Infants found in the oldest of the blue Psalter Hymnals of the CRC (the one with a picture of a church window in the lower right corner.) It can also be found in the newer blue ones as Form 1. I've posted it before, I think. I'll look it up and see if I can post it.

That is, unless Andrew M beats me to it, like he always does.

I'll have to type it up, because I can't find it online. If you want it, Andrew, I'll type it up for you.

John -- Is that the 1959 edition?
