John Starke responds to my recent post on child baptism by claiming that we should indeed baptize small children who profess faith. Here’s the crux of John’s argument:

Keith Mathison reviews The Symphony of Scripture:
The main goal of the book is to demonstrate how the key people, events, institutions, and books of the Bible fit into the overall story.
