Agnes, Daughter of William the Baptist; or, The Young Theologian

This sequel to Cheney’s popular William the Baptist is a helpful follow-up to the question of baptism. In this book, Cheney follows William’s daughter, a young girl named Agnes, and explores the question of when children baptized in infancy may become communicant members of the church. This important question, often left unaddressed in books on baptism, is engagingly presented and answered through the dialogue between Cheney and Agnes and the narrative of what transpires.
