| | | Best books about infant Baptism
What are the best works available on infant Baptism available in your opinion?
If possible could you divide your selections into Larger works and shorter works?
I would really appreciate your input.

From the pro side, I would highly recommend Marcel's book, the Strawbridge edited volume, Murray on infant baptism, and Samuel Miller. From the con side, I would recommend Jewett, Schreiner/Wright, and that Puritan work that I can never remember the author of. I'm sure that some of the credos will remember which book I'm thinking of.

On the shorter side, Danny Hyde's Jesus Loves the Little Children is excellent. I've handed out dozens of copies to congregation members and others.
On the longer side, James Brownson's the Promise of Baptism is good.
