| Summary: | Baptism played a key role in Visigothic Spain. Jamie Wood has argued that this was the result of attempts by religious and secular authorities to navigate the transition from Arianism to orthodoxy, and to forge a common Spanish identity. This article places Wood in dialogue with Christian McConnell, whose work has reframed our understanding of initiation in Visigothic Spain. This article argues that the blessing of chrism was the central symbol by which Visigothic bishops asserted their authority in order to stabilize the Church and in turn the Visigothic State. El bautismo tuvo un papel clave en la España visigoda. Jamie Wood ha propuesto que este fenómeno fue el resultado de los esfuerzos de las autoridades religiosas y seculares en pilotar la transición desde el arrianismo a la ortodoxia, y en forjar una identi-dad hispana común. Este articulo pone a Wood en dialogo con Christian McConnell, cuya obra ha cambiado el pensamiento actual sobre la iniciación en el Reino Visigodo en España. El presente artículo argumenta que la bendición del crisma fue el símbolo central que utilizaban los obispos para ejercer su autoridad con el fin de estabilizar la Iglesia y el Estado visigodo. |
