520 |a Christian baptism, the subject of much recent investigation, centers upon two major images: death with Christ and new birth. This paper summarizes scholarly research on the meaning of these images in the New Testament and other ancient sources. It then introduces Lifton's psychological theory of death symbolism and the construction of death equivalents and applies this to the ancient Christian images and their patterns of associated meanings. Such symbolism aids in apprehending death and integrating it into an ongoing affirmation of life. Ancient baptismal death and birth imagery appears to have worked powerfully and meaningfully in this way.
