This lively volume from professor and pastor Jennifer Davidson considers the historic theology of the Christian rites of baptism and communion from a Baptist perspective, and then she explores the practical implications of these rituals for a life of radical discipleship. As if this practical theology of the church tradition were not constructive enough, the author has also gathered a variety of classical liturgies and original worship resources from an array of voices, diverse in culture, gender, and ethnicity, offering today’s congregations a rich collection of worship resources for contemporary baptismal and communion services. Valuable for liturgical scholarship, congregational education, and pastoral leadership. Online Leader’s Guide available for small-group study!
