Since its first appearance in 1960, "Documents of the Baptismal
Liturgy" has been praised and used by scholars in understanding how
the rite of baptism was celebrated through the centuries. This new
edition retains the sources previously included and adds Eastern
Christian texts from the great East Syrian Church Fathers, as well
as selections from The Rite of the Assyrian Church of the East, the
Syrian Orthodox Church, and the Maronite Rite. Additional Western
texts include the famous Pentecost Homily attributed to Faustus of
Riez, Letter 26 to Januarius from Pope Gregory I, and the Rite of
Confirmation from the Pontifical of William Durandus.
Instead of placing local councils together in one section,
individual councils are now placed in their respective geographic
locals. Bibliographical lists in a variety of languages have been
added for each document studied or for each locale; and
translations have often been replaced with more recent versions.
The glossary and the introductions to each document make it
accessible to the general, as well as the specialist, reader.
