Of Water and the Spirit
by Alexander Schmemann
In this study of the Orthodox understanding of Christian initiation, the
rites of baptism and chrismation, Fr Schmemann invites us to "rediscover" baptism.
He penetrates the Church's rubrics and rituals'often dismissed as out-of-date
or merely quaint — to reveal their inner content: a message of man's
entrance into new life, into the Church and into the Kingdom. The result
is a powerful statement of the meaning baptism should hold in our lives.
