Candid reasons for renouncing the principles of anti-paedobaptism
by Pastor Peter Edwards
Peter Edwards pastored a Baptist church for over 10 years. Then, after much study, he realized that infant baptism is Biblical! In 1795, he wrote this book, affirming paedobaptism. It went through numerous reprints. I believe it was last printed in 1841. It can be difficult to find now, since 165 years have passed since its last printing. Some old copies can be bought for high prices, but now you can read it for free! The entire book is now available here online:
