The Evils of Infant Baptism is a book written by Robert Boyte Crawford Howell in 1851. The book is a critical analysis of the practice of infant baptism in the Christian church. Howell, a Baptist minister, argues that the practice of baptizing infants is not supported by the Bible and is therefore a human tradition that has been introduced into the church. He argues that baptism should only be administered to those who have made a conscious decision to follow Jesus Christ and have repented of their sins. Howell also highlights the negative consequences of infant baptism, including the false sense of security it can give to parents and the hindrance it can pose to a person's ability to make a genuine decision to follow Christ later in life. He also argues that infant baptism has been used as a means of control and power by religious institutions throughout history. Overall, The Evils of Infant Baptism is a passionate critique of a long-standing practice in the Christian church. Howell's arguments are based on his interpretation of scripture and his own experiences as a minister, and the book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the role of baptism in the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
