Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of the Catholic sacrament of Penance from the early Church to the present day. Amidst a culture of extreme self-chastisement and an emerging culture of excessive leniency, the author examines the Church's attempts to find a balance between the two extremes. The book analyzes primary sources, identifying multiple accusations of exaggerated severity in the ancient Church and exaggerated laxity in the modern Church, challenging these accusations through historical and theological analysis. The author argues that the Church throughout history has maintained a consistent position of compassionate firmness. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of Christian thought, and the nature of forgiveness.
