Confession and Absolution: An Investigation of the Teaching of the Bible and Prayer Book (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore how Confession and Absolution works within Christian faith and Anglican practice, from biblical roots to church life.
This study examines the meaning and practice of confession, repentance, and absolution. It shows how forgiveness is tied to penitence, and how the Church’s Prayer Book frames private confession, absolution, and related rites. The author weighs common objections and argues that confession to a priest has long been a trusted part of Christian life, with emphasis on humility, self-knowledge, and spiritual guidance.
- How repentance, contrition, confession, and satisfaction relate to forgiveness
- Why the Church treats absolution as a minister’s authority, not a private ritual
- Historical and theological perspectives from church leaders and reformers

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound subject of forgiveness and reveals the spiritual practice of Confession and Absolution as illuminated by the teachings of the Bible and the Prayer Book. The author argues that forgiveness operates only if there is the potential for the recipient to appropriately receive and utilize the gift, which is something that can only occur in the presence of true penitence. The book emphasizes that the act of forgiveness is not unconditional, and that the practice of Confession enables a state of grace which can facilitate the reception of God's forgiveness. Recognizing the prevalence of erroneous views on forgiveness, the author challenges common misconceptions about sin and encourages the reader to seek the help of the Holy Spirit to truly understand the malice of sin. The book provides compelling biblical evidence to support Confession, including the power and authority bestowed upon the apostles by Christ in the Gospel of John. By examining the nature of forgiveness, the meaning of sin, and the provision made in the sacraments for the administration of forgiveness, this book offers a compelling argument for Confession and its profound role in the Christian life.
