It is published by the <a href=\"https:\/\/saint-luke.net\/\">Order of Saint Luke<\/a>, a dispersed ecumenical religious order founded by Methodists. The Order currently includes United Methodists, Lutherans, Episcopalians, Baptists, members of Holiness movement churches, and many others. Doxology publishes work by established and emerging liturgical scholars to address historical, theological, and cultural questions about Christian worship and the sacramental life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ARTICLES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRepent and Be Baptized! Healing and Deliverance and Their Role in the Catechumenal Process, Ancient and Modern\u201d by Michael H. Marchal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How then did our Christian ancestors of the first two centuries, a time when public preaching was often outlawed and some Scripture texts were still being written, manage to continue the Great Commission? And do so with such success that by the fourth century, Christianity was the religion favored by the emperors? The answer, of course, was the convincing witness of their lives. It was the fruits of their conversion revealed in their lifestyle that attracted others to wonder what power was at work within them. In a rapidly secularizing world, the Christian churches of North America today all face the same challenge, not just of evangelization but of walking with seekers both on the journey to Baptism and on the way to discipleship, to baptismal living. Only a process that interweaves mind and heart and lifestyle can produce authentic Christians. This article examines various modern rites of Christian initiation with those principles in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BOOK REVIEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><em><strong>The Bible and Baptism<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>The People\u2019s Theology: Classic Hymns and Christian Formation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Going to Church in Medieval England<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>A Women\u2019s Lectionary for the Whole Church: Year B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>POEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Disgruntled Church Usher\u201d by Daniel Klawitter, OSL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FILM REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are You There God?
