Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the significance of the sacrament of baptism in the Church of England, particularly in light of the heated disputes the Gorham case brought before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The author, who grappled with his own doubts after the decision was delivered, analyzes multiple interpretations, including the impact of the Elizabethan writers. The author argues that while much of the practice within the English church might suggest an unconditional efficacy of baptism for infants, the official dogmatic teaching on the matter was sadly lacking. This work culminates in the author's resignation from his benefice and cure of souls. This book's careful analysis and close readings of historical documents makes it an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the continuing debates over the nature and necessity of baptism.
