This addition to A Catholic Biblical Theology of the Sacraments
series provides readers with a deeper appreciation of God's gifts
and call in the Sacraments through a renewed encounter with God's
Word. New Testament scholar Isaac Morales, OP, offers a biblical
theology of the initiatory rite of baptism that will be interesting
and informative to the church catholic. Morales provides a
synthetic biblical account of the sacrament of baptism, rooted in
the rich water symbolism of the Old Testament and finding its full
flourishing in baptismal participation in the saving events of
Christ's passion, death, and resurrection as described in the New
Testament. This book provides lay teachers with background and
depth on topics taught frequently in the parish, making it suitable
for classroom use and parish ministry. The series editors are
Timothy C. Gray and John Sehorn. Gray is president of the Augustine
Institute, which has one million subscribers to its online content
channel, Formed.org. Gray and Sehorn both teach at the Augustine
Institute Graduate School of Theology, which prepares students for
Christian mission through on-campus and distance education
programs.
Stimulated by the signal contributions that New Testament scholar
Richard B. Hays has made to Christology and Christian ethics, the
essays collected here carry forward conversations involving close
studies of particular passages in the Gospels and Epistles and
wider-ranging forays into big questions in those fields. Some
essays build on Hays's work, pushing forward in new directions on
questions of scriptural intertextuality, Christology, and
participation in Christ. Others challenge his work on questions of
method and substance alike. But all reflect appreciation for the
advances made by this giant of twentieth and twenty-first century
New Testament scholarship.
