Of Water And The Spirit by Alexander Schmemann
A Liturgical Study of Baptism
A reflective theological and autobiographical meditation on baptism as the foundational Christian sacrament, presenting it not as a mere rite of passage but as entrance into a living, communal participation in Christ’s death and resurrection. It traces baptism’s biblical and liturgical roots, critiques modern nominal and privatized Christianity, and argues that true Christian identity is formed through sacramental life and the Church’s ongoing renewal. Blending doctrinal insight with personal memory, it calls readers to recover the transformative depth of initiation and to live out faith as a continual dying-and-rising within the Body of Christ.
