The Development of the Doctrine of Infant Salvation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Development of the Doctrine of Infant Salvation

The task which we set before us in this brief paper is not to unravel the history of Opinion as to the salvation of infants dying in infancy, but the much more circumscribed one Of tracing the development of doctrine on this subject. We hope to show that there has been a doctrine as to the salvation of infants common to all ages of the Chur'ch but that there has also been in this, as in other doctrines, a progressive correction Of crudities in its conception, by which the true meaning and relations Of the common teaching have been freed from deforming accretions and its permanent core brought to purer expression.
