Theologians and Historians on the Development of Original Sin

 

Hello and welcome. In this article, we'll be documenting comments made by various theologians and church historians on the development of original sin in Christian history. The issue of the fall and its potential consequences is something we've already covered at great lengths. To get a primer on this, see our article here which goes over our perspective called ancestral sin which is distinct from original sin. To look at all of our articles that talk about the doctrine of original sin, see here. 

Examining the Covenantal Unity Argument for Paedobaptism

 

Hello and welcome. In this article, we will examine a particular argument for Paedobaptism. This is the covenantal unity argument. This argument for Paedobaptism is most prominent in Reformed Presbyterian circles and is often argued for in tandem with the infant circumcision to baptism argument. We've covered the infant circumcision to baptism argument in this article here. The argument for covenantal unity is primarily derived from the hermeneutical framework of covenant theology. In this article, we won't be putting forth a comprehensive account of how the biblical covenants fit together and relate to each other. Instead, we'll be focused on examining and critiquing the distinctions of the covenantal unity argument for Paedobaptism.
