Book excerpt: In this rich exposition on the theological, historical, and sacramental significance of the baptismal font, Regina Kuehn describes the space designated for Baptism as "a home for the church, a regular meeting place for believers, [and] a recognizable location to which one can point in memory of a liturgical event." Drawing on an impressive array of artistic paintings, drawings, and photographs, Kuehn offers an indispensable guide to building and refurbishing this sacramental space, while also providing rich insight into the experience and mystery of Baptism. Designed for parish staffs, architects, artists, craftsmen, priests, and all those involved in the building and renovating of churches, this resource will prove useful to any Catholic interested in a deeper understanding of our rich baptismal symbolism.
