Summary: "Bertha and Her Baptism" by Nehemiah Adams is a religious treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work centers around the nature, significance, and influence of infant baptism, exploring the theological underpinnings of the practice in a Christian context. The narrative features a character named Bertha, whose baptism serves as a catalyst for discussions about covenant theology and the role of children in the faith. At the start of the work, the author presents a foundation for understanding baptism, specifically regarding infants and children. The first chapter discusses the theological implications of God’s relationship with children, particularly in light of the Abrahamic covenant. The opening portion reveals a dialogue among various characters, including a pastor and parents considering the baptism of their child, as they explore the doctrinal significance and personal emotions tied to the rite. Through reflections on faith, family, and community, the text aims to illustrate the profound spiritual meaning behind dedicating infants to God through baptism, while also addressing common questions and concerns about the practice.
