Project Gutenberg 2016-08-08 Public domain in the USA. 129 Hoare, Edward 1812 1894 Baptism as taught in the Bible and the Prayer Book Transcribed from the 1865 Hatchard & Co. edition by David Price "Baptism as taught in the Bible and the Prayer Book" by Edward Hoare is a theological examination written in the mid-19th century. This work discusses the doctrine of baptism within the framework of both Scripture and the Anglican Prayer Book, concentrating on the spiritual implications and the debates surrounding the sacrament. The likely topic of the book is the nature of baptism, particularly its regenerative aspect and its significance in the Christian faith. In the text, Hoare analyzes baptism through a dual lens: first, he explores what the Bible reveals about the inward and spiritual grace associated with the sacrament, and second, he examines the teachings of the Prayer Book. Hoare emphasizes that baptism symbolizes a profound spiritual union with Christ, which brings about significant changes in the believer’s condition and heart. He argues that this transformation—including forgiveness of sin and a new heart—is understood differently by various factions within Christianity, leading to controversies about the sacrament's meaning and effectiveness. Throughout the book, Hoare maintains that while baptism is an outward sign, its spiritual efficacy depends on the moral state and faith of the individual receiving it, aligning both scriptural insights and the doctrines of the Church of England.
