Much of the current theology of Baptism focuses on the image of Baptism as dying and rising, as found in Romans, chapter 6. But, other images such as rebirth and adoption also resound in scripture and tradition. As the author proposes, recovering these traditions may suggest other appropriate feasts for the celebration of Baptism, and will deepen the appreciation and understanding of the sacrament itself.
