“This video is going to be a history of infant baptism in the early church. It will have four sections. First, a summary of the argument. Second, I’ll explain the goal of this video. Third, we’ll look at the New Testament. Fourth, we’ll look at the early church data century by century.” - Gavin Ortlund

....is that infant baptism dates from Augustine's hypothesis that infants were unregenerate, but that a measure of grace/salvation was provided upon baptism. That's a powerful argument for paedobaptism in an age of incredible infant mortality like the 3rd/4th century.
