I’ve had several people ask the question – at what age did the early Particular Baptists immerse believers? Back then, did a person have to be a certain age to qualify for baptism? I’m thankful for this question for several reasons. First, it’s one I’ve wondered about and studied for years. Second, the answer from history is quite different from much of the modern practice of believer’s baptism. And that means that there is almost certainly benefit to be gained in reflecting on the reasons behind this difference, regardless of where one ends up in practice.

In the last 20 years there has been a resurgence of interest in Anne. One of the best studies is called “To Express the Ineffable: the hymns and spirituality of Anne Steele” by Cynthia Aalders. It was published by Paternoster Press in 2008 as part of a series on Baptist history and thought. There are many useful books in that list. But I often find these kind of studies to be out of touch both historically and religiously with their subject as well as being too technical. But this book had none of those defects and was a delight to read. Aalders gives a short life of Steele and wisely references J. R. Broome’s detailed biography. She follows this with chapters on various themes in Steele’s poetry and identifies several that I’d like to show you.

God declares us righteous. But on what basis does He do this? What is the righteousness which he takes into account when He says we are righteous? Some have understood Rom 4:3-5 to teach that God looks at our faith or our evangelical obedience as the basis for His verdict that we are righteous. The truth is that such an interpretation is a radical betrayal of the biblical doctrine of justification.
