Presenting a comprehensive survey of the historical underpinnings
of baptismal liturgies and theologies, Bryan Spinks presents an
ecumenically and geographically wide-ranging survey and discussion
of contemporary baptismal rites, practice and reflection, and
sacramental theology. Writing within a clear chronological
framework, Bryan Spinks presents two simultaneous volumes on
Baptismal Liturgy and Theology. In the first volume, Early and
Medieval Rituals and Theologies of Baptism, Bryan Spinks summarizes
the understandings of baptism in the New Testament and the
development of baptismal reflection and liturgical rites throughout
Syrian, Egyptian, Roman and African regions. He focuses
particularly on the Homilies of Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem,
Theodore and Ambrose, the post-nicene rites and commentaries, and
the impact of medieval theologies of baptism and Augustinian
theology with reference to Western understanding. In the second
volume, Reformation and Modern Rituals and Theologies of Baptism,
Spinks traces developments through the Reformation, liturgies in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and explores important new
ecumenical perspectives on developments of twentiethth-century
sacramental discussion.
