Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the transformative power of repentance from sin in the Christian tradition. It draws on the words of both Jesus and the early Church fathers to explore the idea of 'confession and absolution' as the means to reconcile with God. The author asserts that the admission a…nd renunciation of sins, along with their subsequent pardon by authorized priests, has been the practice of Christians since the earliest times. They argue that the power to forgive sins was bestowed upon priests by Jesus Christ, who in turn received it from God, and is therefore not inherent to the character of the priests themselves. The book also stresses that, although repentance is primarily an internal spiritual process, it should not be seen as a purely private matter but as one which requires the guidance and support of the wider Church community. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
