  The Christian religion is deeply imbued with the imagery of water, and water plays a central role in its religious practices, not least in baptism. Yet the wider role of water in Christianity has been little explored. In this book, Terje Oestigaard uses the dramatic changes that took place in perceptions of water during the Reformation.
