2013 Catholic Press Award Winner What can we learn from early
Christian imagery about the theological meaning of baptism? Robin
Jensen, a leading scholar of early Christian art and worship,
examines multiple dimensions of the early Christian baptismal rite.
She explores five models for understanding baptism--as cleansing
from sin, sickness, and Satan; as incorporation into the community;
as sanctifying and illuminative; as death and regeneration; and as
the beginning of the new creation--showing how visual images,
poetic language, architectural space, and symbolic actions signify
and convey the theological meaning of this ritual practice.
Considering image and action together, Jensen offers a holistic and
integrated understanding of the power of baptism. The book is
illustrated with photos.
