Baptismal Imagery in Early Christianity

Theology

“Those who are designing baptisteries and fonts and those involved in preparing the elect for baptism will be grateful for this book. It is a brilliant synchronization of rich resources: Scripture, early Christian documents, poetry, and initiatory customs. Its many illustrations show how the languages of art, architecture, and ritual behavior complement and sustain one another. The people who may have experienced these ancient places and liturgies come to life. The book will kindle your senses.”
