Schmemann, Alexander, fr. Of Water and Spirit Translated from English by Alexandru Mihaila The entire life of the Church is rooted in the New Life that shone from the grave on the first day of the new creation. This new life is offered by the Baptism and is fulfilled within the Church. One must rediscover the Baptism - its meaning, its power, its true validity. It is the aim of the present book to support this rediscovery, or rather to list its preliminary conditions. Because the real rediscovery must occur every time the Church celebrates this great Sacrament, making us all its partakers and witnesses. Our entire study is nothing but an attempt to explain the meaning of this bond and to convey, to the extent it is possible for the feeble human words, the joy that fills our Christian life. (Fr. Alexander Schmemann) Format: 13 x 20 cm; 232 p. ISBN: 978‑973‑136‑134‑5 “Theological Studies” «« back
