So, where does this book come from? Uh, it it for me when I was in seminary at IRBs, which was then at Westminster Seminary in California. Um, when I went to seminary, I I had a self-conscious mindset that I I wanted to believe what I believed because I was convinced of it, not just because they said it or because I had grown up with something. Uh I I wanted to have a a certainty and a conviction about the things that I believed and I practiced. And so going into seminary, baptism, crado baptism versus pedo baptism was certainly one of those things that I wanted to give serious thought and serious attention to. Um because so many respected theologians throughout history have practiced pato baptism in the reformed tradition. And so many people that I respected growing up in a reformed Baptist house um practiced crado baptism. And so there were men that I respected who who would be on both sides to use those terms. And I wanted to give it a fair shake. So in in seminary it it seemed the appearance to me was that POBaptist brothers had the most developed covenant theology. It seemed like a very paleobaptist reformed thing.
