I followed a link from somewhere (I can't remember where or I'd give credit) to this book. I'm relatively new to Reformed theology and barely have a grip on paedobaptism. I recognize that it's Biblical, but hesitate on the Scriptural backing. So, as kind of a general "more information" kind of thing - I got this book.
Wow.
The author is definitely "truly reformed" - and that's ok. Sometimes I find myself not wanting to sound "TR", yet believing a lot of the same things, but really not wanting the attitudes that I see in some of the "TR" folks. Anyway - that's a whole different topic. The result of the "TR" is that the book is written to Reformed or "Covenant" families.
In my jouney into my own reformation I treated a student from Calvin Seminary to a snack out and one of the hard questions that I asked was "what about babies that die, before or after they're born?" This book (for me, anyway) answered the question for believing parents (unbelieving parents are still up in the air - but they don't believe, so they're not asking the question anyway.)
I'm going to try to go through it with notes and blog about it - Christmas break is coming up

Ellen, have you read "When a Baby Dies" by Ronald Nash? It is on infant salvation from a Reformed perspective, as well. Pretty good, although flawed.

No, I haven't read that.
"Paedofaith" left me with the same questions I had before - in fact, I have more questions, but of a more troubling nature.
