Overview

The first two volumes of Baptist Sacramentalism helped give momentum to a renewal of sacramental theology among Baptists. In the years since, this conversation has come to include a more diverse range of voices and explore a broader range of topics. Baptist Sacramentalism 3 both reveals and shares in these trends, contributing to the continued expansion of Baptist sacramental theology. Essays from Scandinavian and Eastern European scholars reveal the ways in which sacramental thought is taking shape in non-English speaking contexts. Other essays demonstrate the ways in which sacramental thought informs questions ranging from disability to virtual reality. And in keeping with the first volumes, there is continued exploration of the sacramental witness of the Baptist past.

Reviews

Earlier volumes of Baptist Sacramentalism have left readers with high expectations. They have done two things very well. Firstly, they linked people dissatisfied with sacramental reductionism to a long sacramental tradition among Baptists. Secondly, they brought this retrieval into conversation with fresh ecumenical thinking on the subject. Volume 3 carries on both of these impulses. I was particularly impressed with the articles that delved into the meaning of mystery, sacraments for people with disabilities, and an Eastern European perspective on believer's baptism. --John D. Rempel, Senior Fellow, Toronto Mennonite Theological Centre, Ontario Can Baptists be sacramentalists? That contested question is explored vigorously in this remarkable collection of essays. Drawing on well-articulated biblical and historical insights and recent developments in ecumenical theology, this volume makes a compelling case for an emerging Baptist sacramental theology, yet without diminishing major strengths found in Baptist traditions, notably those in Eastern Europe. These essays deserve wide reading by Protestants and Roman Catholics alike, and especially by all who are concerned with Baptist theology and practice in the life of local churches. --Don E. Saliers, William R. Cannon Distinguished Professor of Theology and Worship, Emeritus, Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta
