Description

Confession and Absolution is a book written by Richard Hooker, a theologian and philosopher in the 16th century. It is the sixth book in his series, The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. The book discusses the sacrament of confession and absolution in the Church, exploring its theological and practical implications. Hooker argues that confession and absolution are essential parts of Christian life, allowing individuals to receive forgiveness for their sins and to grow in their faith. He also addresses issues such as the role of the priest in administering the sacrament, the importance of contrition and repentance, and the relationship between confession and the wider community of believers. The book is considered a classic work of Anglican theology and has been influential in shaping the Church's understanding of confession and absolution. This edition of the book was published in 1901 and includes an introduction by the editor, providing historical context and background information on Hooker's life and work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
