Did the Early Church Baptize Infants?

Meer over het boek

The book presents a scholarly debate on the practice of infant baptism in early Christianity. Joachim Jeremias argues for its existence within the first four centuries, while Kurt Aland counters these claims, asserting that there is no direct evidence supporting infant baptism before the third century. This translation includes Aland's detailed refutation of Jeremias' arguments, contributing to the ongoing discussion about the origins and acceptance of infant baptism in the early church.
