Synopsis
Exploring how the early church wrestled with post-baptismal sin and shaped its sacramental life.
This book surveys the beginnings of how Christians understood cleansing, forgiveness, and the rite of communion after baptism. It traces the ideas that grew into the church’s enduring practice, from the first hints of a sacramental ministry to the emergence of penance and the Mass as key elements of Christian life.
- How baptism set a standard of cleansing that could require further purification after initial reception
- How the Eucharist and related rites evolved, including shifts in how they were understood in relation to sin and forgiveness
- Early examples like the Marcosians and Pistis Sophia that show different paths people took to address sin after initiation
- The move toward a coherent sacramental system and its clash with competing beliefs and social contexts
