An excellent study and analysis of the Sacrament of Baptism especially in the way it was understood by the early Church Fathers. The author has woven into this study the Hindu element of initiation. This would certainly provide an impetus for a deeper appreciation for the sacrament as it is celebrated today. The author offers a study of the similarities and divergences between Christian and Hindu images of perfection and salvation and this comparative approach is indispensable to a better understanding of Christian discipleship for contemporary society in India.
This book is one of those rare works that explicate the ontological link between Baptismal rebirth and discipleship and accord due place to some interreligious perspectives.
