註釋Take the Plunge explores baptism, showing how it touches the deepest dramas of human life.

Cardinal-elect Timothy Radcliffe holds a unique position in the modern Catholic Church, recently receiving one of the most senior and influential appointments the Catholic Church has on offer, namely becoming a cardinal. He was also Master of the Dominican Order in Rome for nine years. But he is a member of an Order of Preachers and is thus truly apostolic. The order's motto consists of one word, Veritas (Truth), and it is the vigorous pursuit of intellectual and emotional truth which is the hallmark of his writing.

This new book will not disappoint his admirers. Here, Cardinal-elect Radcliffe argues that Christianity will only thrive today, overcoming the challenges of secularism and religious fundamentalism, if we rediscover the beauty of baptism. It touches the deepest dramas of human life: birth, growing up, falling in love, daring to give oneself to others, searching for meaning, coping with suffering and failure, and eventually death.
