About The Book
Baptismal Liturgy and Theology: Early and Medieval Rituals and Theologies of Baptism offers a comprehensive survey of baptismal liturgies and theologies, focusing on both historical and contemporary perspectives. Written by Bryan Spinks, this volume presents an ecumenically and geographically broad discussion on baptismal rites, practices, and theological reflections.
The book delves into the development of baptismal understanding in the New Testament and traces its evolution through various Christian regions such as Syria, Egypt, Rome, and Africa. Spinks highlights key figures like Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem, Theodore, Ambrose, and Augustine, exploring their influence on the theological and liturgical understanding of baptism. The work pays special attention to the medieval theological developments and their lasting impact on Western baptismal traditions.
This volume is essential for readers interested in early and medieval Christian thought, sacramental theology, and the historical roots of Christian baptism practices.
