Take the Plunge explores baptism, showing how it touches the deepest dramas of human life.
Cardinal Radcliffe argues that Christianity will only thrive today, overcoming the challenges of secularism and religious fundamentalism, if we rediscover the beauty of baptism. It touches the deepest dramas of human life: birth, growing up, falling in love, daring to give oneself to others, searching for meaning, coping with suffering and failure, and eventually death.
Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe is a former Master of the Dominican Order. Educated at Oxford and Paris, he joined the Dominicans in 1965, and taught scripture at Blackfriars, Oxford, for many years. His bestselling books published by Bloomsbury include What is the Point of Being a Christian?, Why Go to Church?, Alive in God and I Call You Friends. He was elevated to the rank of Cardinal by Pope Francis in December 2024.
