Flowing Water, Uncommon Birth: Christian Baptism in a Post-Christian Culture

Author Samuel Torvend wonders, “how is our baptismal preparation, the celebration of baptism, and ongoing baptismal and eucharistic formation shaping a people who will not only survive but flourish—perhaps in small ways—in a culture which remains skeptical of religion, religious people and religious communities?” These reflections on Christian baptism draw on the work of biblical and liturgical scholars, church historians, sociologists of religion, theologians, poets, cultural analysts, filmmakers, and writers, the witness of the New Testament, the sermons, hymns, and architecture of early Christians, ancient and modern liturgical texts, medieval mystics, reformation leaders, and modern martyrs and reformers. Perfect for preparing those performing the baptism service.
