David F. Wright: There is No Explicit References to Infant Baptism in the Apostolic Fathers

  

Are there any explicit references to infant baptism in the Apostolic Fathers?

 

The first is likely to prove the easiest to answer, since no scholar known to me now answers in the affirmative. (David F. Wright, “The Apostolic Fathers and Infant Baptism: Any Advance on the Obscurity of the New Testament,” in Trajectories through the New Testament and the Apostolic Fathers, Andrew F. Gregory and Christopher M. Tuckett [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005], 124)

 

This is significant as Wright himself is a proponent of infant baptism.
