Confession and Absolution: An Investigation of the Teaching of the Bible and Prayer Book - Couverture rigide
Présentation de l'éditeur
New York, the Hon. Elbridge T. Gerry, who happened to have read a sermon of mine on A bsolution,1 urged me to work out its argument more fully than the limits of a sermon allowed, and to add to it answers to some of the objections commonly brought against Confession and A bsolution. This little book is the outcome of his request. Mr. Gerry had made a collection of nearly all the books, large and small, on this subject, which had been published of late years in the Anglican Communion, and we went over them together. Some were excellent from the historical and theo logical standpoint, but too exclusively dogmatic. Others, again, took a line so apologetic (in the common sense of the term) as to render them quite useless for the purpose we had in view, namely, to provide a Manual which could be placed in the hands of lay people desirous of informing them selves in regard to the doctrine and practice of Confession in our Church. 1I n Life and I ts Problems (the World s Pulpit Series), Masters Co., 78 New Bond Street, London.
