Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

Lewis on baptism

Postby Paul F. Ford » August 27th, 2005, 5:08 pm

Janine Gofar's indispensable C. S. Lewis Index: Rumours from the Sculptor's Shop (Riverside, CA: La Sierra University Press, 1995; ISBN 0-944450-19-9) lists (among others):

Mere Christianity Book II, Section 5, Paragraphs 3 and 7: Baptism as one of three things which spreads the Christ life in us
"Membership," The Weight of Glory, Paragraph 9: Baptism calls a Christian not into a collective but into a Body
Reflections on the Psalms, Chapter 5, Paragraph 10: "Our life as Christians begins by being baptised into a death"
