| Description | This course unit shows how Baptism is the first Christian sacrament and how it mediates Christian faith and Christian identity, in Christ and in the Church. It presents an introduction to sacramental theology, taking baptism as a paradigm and considers the development of Confirmation as a separate sacrament. |
| Lecturer's Introduction | Baptism is the sacrament received by all Christians. What is it? What does it do? How does Confirmation add to it or build on it? What are the implications for the baptised person? What does it mean for Christian churches to recognise each other's Baptism? |
