Discourses On The Mode And Subjects Of Christian Baptism

Discourses On The Mode And Subjects Of Christian Baptism: Or An Attempt To Show What Pouring Or Sprinkling Is A Scriptural Mode (1811) is a religious text written by Joseph Lathrop. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the Christian practice of baptism, focusing on the modes of pouring and sprinkling. Lathrop argues that these modes are scripturally supported and valid forms of baptism, despite the prevailing belief in his time that immersion was the only acceptable method. In addition to discussing the mode of baptism, Lathrop also explores the subjects of baptism, including infant baptism and the role of faith in the baptismal process. The book is written in a scholarly and academic style, drawing heavily on biblical references and theological arguments. It is an important historical document for understanding the evolution of Christian baptism practices in the United States in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
