About the book
Linda Gibler explores the origins and significance of the elemental substances—water, oil, and fire—tracing their cosmic history and their sacramental role in baptism. Integrating scientific insights, Scripture, and church history, the book offers a cosmocentric sacramental spirituality that deepens understanding and appreciation of baptismal rituals.
