The Baptismal Life

About this book

What is the point of Baptism?

Did you know that water is everywhere in the Bible? Whether it's literal H20 or water used as a literary motif, the pages of God's Word are saturated with water. This water kept—and keeps—God's people alive not just physically, but also spiritually.

In The Baptismal Life, Rev. Dr. Michael Berg reflects on the power of water in Scripture, the impact of Baptism, and how this precious sacrament connects believers to Christ.

As you read this book, you'll follow the "water story" of the Word as it winds through biblical accounts both well-known (Creation, the Flood) and obscure (the Passover, Naaman) before ultimately bringing you before God in paradise.

Additionally, each chapter offers astute connections to the baptismal sacrament and useful takeaways for a Christian life. The book ends with a down-to-earth commentary on the Order of Baptism that explains this Christian rite in an approachable way for all Christians.

After reading this book, you'll be able to answer the question, "What is the point of Baptism?" and be comforted in the knowledge of what Baptism specifically means for you.
