A Discourse Proving the Divine Institution of Water-Baptism: Wherein the Quaker-Arguments Against It Are Collected and Confuted with as Much as Is Nee

By Charles Leslie

"A Discourse Proving The Divine Institution Of Water-baptism" by Charles Leslie (1650-1722) presents a theological defense of water-baptism, a significant rite within Christian tradition. This discourse directly addresses and refutes the arguments put forth by Quakers against the practice of water-baptism. Leslie meticulously collects and systematically dismantles these opposing viewpoints, offering a robust affirmation of the sacrament's divine origins and continued importance.

In addition to its focus on baptism, the text includes pertinent discussion of the Lord's Supper, further enriching its examination of essential Christian rituals. This work provides valuable insight into 17th-century theological debates and the historical context surrounding differing interpretations of sacramental practices. Scholars and readers interested in religious history, Quakerism, and the theology of sacraments will find Leslie's discourse to be an illuminating and historically significant resource.
