About this title

Synopsis

In "A Letter to the Lord Bishop of London, on Confession and Absolution," Robert Liddell addresses a critical theological debate within the Anglican Church of the mid-19th century. Focusing specifically on the case of the Rev. Alfred Poole, Liddell delves into the complexities surrounding the practices of confession and absolution. This volume offers insights into the ecclesiastical controversies of the era and the differing viewpoints on sacramental theology.

Liddell's letter serves as a primary source for understanding the tensions and discussions within the Church of England regarding ritualism and the role of priestly authority. It sheds light on the challenges faced by clergymen like Poole and provides historical context for the ongoing discourse on confession and absolution within Christian theology.
