Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Tracts for Critical Times; On the Important Subjects of Baptism and Regeneration, &C: With an Especial Reference to the Oxford Tracts, &C, &C The object of this Tract will be to examine the views of Professor Pusey, on baptismal regeneration, which appeared originally in "Tracts for the Times," but are now published in one volume, to which the references will be here made. We shall first discuss the question respecting the superiority claimed by the Professor for baptism, beyond circumcision, - and secondly, enter into a minute examination of the text, "water and the Spirit;" John iii. 5, on which he mainly builds his system. Or in other words, we shall first inquire into the original establishment of baptism; and secondly, into its spiritual import, as implied in our Lord's discourse with Nicodemus. Section I. The superiority claimed for Baptism above Circumcision. The doctrine of "Baptismal Regeneration," the Professor undertakes to demonstrate, both from scripture and the early fathers. The scripture, being our only infallible guide, must be, if not wholly, yet chiefly regarded on this subject. The fathers we have already seen, are no infallible guides here. Before we can become converts to his sentiments, however, we must be allowed to expect a clear development of some important points of scripture, which he has not yet explained. First, he speaks of baptismal regeneration, as being almost all-important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
