Baptized Through Water

One thread of water runs from the first page of Scripture to the last, and this book follows it: the Spirit moving over the deep, the flood that carried Noah through, the washings of the mikvah, the Red Sea walls and the Jordan crossing, the Son standing in the river, and the believer buried and raised. The cover scene is the instant of rising: a man breaking back up through the surface of the river, water sheeting off his face and hair and flung out in bright drops, his eyes still closed, the arm of the man baptising him still under his back, both of them waist-deep in the current at dawn — and far behind them, an ancient sea standing open in towering walls of water. Thirty-two chapters, weighed in Hebrew and Greek: what baptism meant before the cross, what it means after it, and why the New Testament knows no baptism but that of a believer.
