More about the book

Published in 1817, 'Mercy to Babes' is a treatise in support of infant baptism, a practice that was becoming increasingly controversial in the American church. Adams argues that baptism is necessary for salvation and that infants are capable of receiving divine grace and forgiveness. He also addresses common objections to infant baptism and provides historical evidence for its practice.
