Infant Baptism In The First Four Centuries by Joachim Jeremias
An investigation into the origins and development of baptizing infants in the early church, drawing on New Testament exegesis, Jewish background, patristic testimony, liturgical sources, and epigraphic evidence. It argues that the practice emerged very early—possibly within the apostolic period—and became increasingly explicit and widespread by the third and fourth centuries as doctrines of sin, grace, and church membership matured. The study also addresses regional variations and common objections, with particular attention to “household” baptisms and the evolving theology surrounding baptism.
