A Baptism Sourcebook J. Robert Baker, Larry J. Nyberg and Victoria M. Tufano

A flood of texts gathered for pondering by all the baptized. Taken from prose, poetry, hymnody, scripture and liturgical and patristic texts, this collection unfolds the mystery of Baptism as an event that extends into every moment of life. Section titles suggest the richness of symbols and gestures of christening: election, faith and creed, water, naming, godparents, anointing, dressing, light, festivity and mission. Illustrations are by Southwest artist G.E. Mullan. Paperback, 6 x 9, 224 pages.
