A SOURCE BOOK ABOUT BAPTISM

Paperback, 6 x 9, 224 pagas.

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, bestivity and mission. Illustrations are by Southwest artist G.E. Mullan
