Heath and Dvorak’s ecumenical collection of perspectives that ranges from the Orthodox and Catholic to the Protestant, is a useful ‘mapping of the landscape’ of baptismal practice and theology. Writing within the ecumenical context of greater openness to one another, they note that churches are less adamant about their own baptismal practice, as witness the nowwidespread practice amongst Baptist churches of remaining open to people joining their membership despite not being baptized as believers, often betrayingwhat their detractors say is a postmodern loss of conviction, or those welcoming such openness, of a desirable ecumenical spirit of cooperation. While others have edited or written books that explore the territory amongst Protestants, this collection ranges as broadly as possible, including the Orthodox and Catholics, giving it a comprehensive character. Two further aims in commissioning the chapters are the desire to place current practice in historical context, and to explore the implications for baptism in its current setting in theWesternworld, facing the challenge of fallingattendance in church, fewer infants beingbaptized, and loss of denominational allegiance. The editors acknowledge that a quick resolution to these century-old conflicts is unrealistic, but hope that greater understanding of one another’s traditions might ‘nudge us just a bit closer together as baptized followers of Jesus Christ’ (p. xvii). Irenaeus M. C. Steenberg, who has taught theology in Oxford, Leeds, and in the United States, writes about the Orthodox tradition; the Australian Catholic theologian, Gerard Kelly, describes Roman Catholic practice; Robert Kolb on
