"The Case for Covenantal Infant Baptism", edited by Gregg Strawbridge
This is a set of essays by several men and I've read the first two so far.
Here are a few questions that should be asked with an open mind and heart.
How many hundreds of years did the Jews understand that the covenant sign was to be applied to the entire household?
Since many of the new Christians were Jews, doesn't it seem a little strange that none of the letters to new believers addresses the change?
After 2,000 years of applying the covenant sign to a household, shouldn't somebody have told the Jews to stop?

Have you read Murray's book on Infant Baptism?

No, I've only recently really delved into the subject.
The first book I read that even touched on it was "Paedofaith" by Rich Lusk,
I'm currently reading the book I referenced and the next on my list is "Children of the Promise" by Robert R. Booth.
I've got a stack of books ready for summer break...
