Scaer examines the question of whether infants can have faith. He reviews the publications of well-known and influential theologians, providing a unique body of research.
Author David P. Scaer investigates the effects of rationalism and other influences on modern views of Baptism, especially the teachings of Erlangen theologians in the nineteenth century. At the heart of the matter are questions about "infant faith" (fides infantium) and the Reformation principle of "faith alone" (sola fide).
