An exploration--and an affirmation--of the connection between the Church's sacraments of initiation.

Inviting the unbaptized to participate in the Eucharist has become an increasingly common practice in churches, as Christian communities explore ways to use the sacraments as an expression of openness and service. In this volume, sacramental theologian Shawn Strout reconsiders this trend. Arguing from church history, sacramental theology, and liturgical practice, Strout shows how baptism and the Eucharist form an indissoluble bond that is central to Christian initiation and community. The book's conclusion turns to pastoral considerations and ecumenical relationships, showing the significance of the traditional ordo of baptism and Eucharist for the church.

An important text for clergy, scholars, and church leaders, Bound Together: Baptism, Eucharist, and the Church offers important reflections on an issue of pressing concern.

Industry Reviews

"For all those who feel that the words 'hospitality' and 'inclusivity' are a sufficient justification for 'communion without baptism,' the Rev. Dr. Shawn Strout's book is a must read. All the bases are covered—biblical, historical, ecumenical—and the case is utterly persuasive. He shows that theological coherence requires that we keep the bond and order between baptism and the Eucharist. Elegantly written, thorough in research, Dr. Strout now joins the ranks of the leading Episcopal and Anglican theologians ready to provide deep counsel on contentious questions of the leadership of the church."
