It Takes a Church to Baptize
Book • 2018
Scot McKnight examines the biblical texts and historical practices to argue that infant baptism is consistent with the New Testament's covenantal patterns.
He surveys passages commonly cited against infant baptism and offers a pastoral, readable defense for including children in the church's sacramental life.
McKnight situates baptism within family and household language in Scripture, addressing theological and practical objections.
The book aims to be both scholarly enough for pastors and accessible for lay readers wrestling with baptismal questions.
It has become a frequently cited resource in contemporary debates about infant baptism.
