520 8 $aIn the early centuries of the Church, baptism was a profound experience of personal conversion and redemption. Converts found in the baptismal waters what St. Cyprian describes--a new source of life, confidence, and power. Anne Field has reconstructed the teaching and rites that brought new Christian to this moment of grace. By carefully editing and paraphrasing texts that survive from the fourth and fifth centuries, she takes the reader back through a course of instruction designed to change lives. Readers can follow the converts of old through all the dramatic rites of exorcism and consecration--right up to the awesome moment of their rebirth as children of God. --Book cover.
