This Thoughtful Book Explores How the Sacraments Shape Christian Identity Fully in Christ
In today’s Western society, a robust sense of identity is advertised as essential. A thorough understanding of one’s character, personality, and status is the only way to gain significance and pursue purpose.
In The Water and the Blood, author Kevin P. Emmert combats this self-fabricated and unfulfilling mindset with a sustainable solution through Christ. From a theological perspective, Emmert explores the depth of Christian identity, which God made visible through the sacraments of the church.
This thoughtful book explains how God uses multisensory elements—water, bread, and wine—to communicate with his people and unite them to the life-giving body of Christ. Readers will dwell in this divine mystery, learning how a reconciled relationship with God establishes believers as baptized and communing beings with their identity fully in Christ.
224 pages.
