Summary
The Introduction lays out the primary questions underlying the book: What is the relationship between knowledge of God and the practices of teaching surrounding baptism? What is the role of historical study in understanding Christian epistemology? What role do theological commitments play in the forms of catechetical instruction? It also explains the use of the language of epistemology and catechetical literature, and it contains a chapter outline.
