Many thanks Matthew. I ordered Heaven's Glory by Love & the Church's Need of Christ by Valentine.
Thank you. One of the reasons the book by Matthew Sylvester caught my attention was the comments on your publishing page that he dealt with both hermeneutics and also issues such as household baptisms. When I was younger I was strongly influenced by Fred Malone's book "The baptism of disciples alone" where he argues for a baptist hermeneutic and also a baptist understanding of household baptisms. Thus I was wondering if this book by Matthew Sylvester was a good response to the teaching promoted by such Baptist leaders as Fred Malone?Sylvester's work is different in that he sets up hermeneutical principles first.

Thank you Matthew. I did a rethink on books on Covenant Theology and Baptism, and considered the best book for my circumstances would probably be "A Discourse on Covenant Theology and Infant Baptism" by Cuthbert Sydenham. I got that. I decided to also get "The Wells of Salvation Opened" by William Spurstowe.Sylvester deals quite faithfully with the hebraisms of "household" (briefly), and with hermeneutical issues of interpretation (briefly). But I wouldn't say he is not out to "refute" Malone's ideas. That's really not the intent of the book. I think once people grasp the household and interpretive method, and Sylvester's points, Malone really doesn't even need to be refuted, but rather rejected.
