It was during his voyage to Calcutta that Adoniram Judson embarked on another important journey - one that would prove very costly. Judson came to see that believer's baptism by immersion is the clear teaching of the New Covenant, and in this book he has given us a record of his journey. Subsequently, his wife wrote her parents: 'we both are confirmed Baptists, not because we wished to be but because truth compelled us to be.'
This present volume, long out of print, is actually a very long sermon (on Mattew 28:19) preached prior to Judson's receiving his own baptism in India in 1812. It includes an interesting letter to Judson's church in Plymouth, Massachusetts, as well as collection of quotations that Judson assembled to show the arguments of those who practiced infant baptism. It also includes a short address on the mode of baptism.
