Baptism as a Response to Contemporary Philosophical and Cultural Change

Keywords: baptism; contemporaneity; Church

Summary/Abstract: The article shows how theology and spirituality of baptism stands in opposition to some contemporary currents in thought and worldview. Not only does it indicate the divergent points between theology of baptism and thinking of a postmodern human (nihilism, hedonism, liberalism, aestheticism), it also indicates specific ways of realising a postulate to make people true disciples of Christ through baptism. The Church's response to the atheistic ideas of the modern world is a post-baptism formation anchored in the spirituality and theology of baptism.
