Robin Jensen, a leading scholar of early Christian art and worship, examines multiple dimensions of the early Christian baptismal rite. She explores five models for understanding baptism--as cleansing from sin, sickness, and Satan; as incorporation into the community; as sanctifying and illuminative; as death and regeneration; and as the beginning of the new creation--showing how visual images, poetic language, architectural space, and symbolic actions signify and convey the theological meaning of this ritual practice. Considering image and action together, Jensen offers a holistic and integrated understanding of the power of baptism. The book is illustrated with photos.","brand":"BAK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40698757382273,"sku":"257610","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/8070\/3361\/files\/770949_1_4eff0648-661d-4d24-827c-f090fb69d5b5.jpg?v=1776631057","url":"https:\/\/www.soacb.com\/products\/baptismal-imagery-in-early-christianity","provider":"Seed of Abraham Christian Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
