Les publications sur le baptême se multiplient en ce moment, reflets de et réponses à un problème pastoral et ecclésial préoccupant, parce que vital, pour l'Église et pour les chrétiens. Le livre que voici vient s'ajouter à ce dossier complexe et difficile en présentant un point de vue plus synthétique : il s'efforce de situer la difficile question pastorale (en gros, celle du baptême généralisé des petits enfants) dans une perspective plus ample, celle d'une réflexion sociologique, exégétique, historique et théologique, qui permet de dégager l'extrême charge de sens que porte le rite baptismal pour l'existence chrétienne et par là même de mesurer les ambiguïtés de la pratique baptismale actuelle et de tracer quelques perspectives d'orientation pastorale. L'ouvrage réunit les contributions présentées à une session théologique tenue en 1982 à l'École des sciences philosophiques et religieuses des Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis.

This general survey of early Christian baptismal iconography and architecture integrates visual depictions and physical settings of baptism with textual evidence for its practice and purpose. An opening overview of pictorial art (paintings, relief sculpture, mosaics, and ivories) prompts questions about components of the actual ritual which are treated in the literary sources. The study’s second half considers selected baptismal structures, examining the symbolism, purpose, and possible meaning of their spatial design and decorative programs. In most instances the synthesis of documentary and material evidence is enriching and complementary. However, even when physical and textual data diverge, their discontinuity demonstrates the variability of ritual performance and the perennial distinction between ideal and actual practice..
