Explore how a single rite evolved—from hands laid on the head to sacred chrism—and what that means for church life today.

This study traces the historical development of confirmation, showing how its matter and form changed across centuries. It weighs early imposition of hands against the anointing with chrism and explains why scholars disagree about what constitutes the essential rite.

Tracks four major stages in Western tradition: early imposition, later association with consignation, Scholastic-era shifts, and modern interpretations.
Explains how ancient texts, pontificals, and patristic writings shape the view of who can confer the sacrament and what acts convey grace.
Compares Latin and Greek practices, and highlights how scholars debate the role of prayers, the use of oil, and the significance of the rite’s words.
Clarifies how the present form emerged and why different periods emphasized different elements of the rite.

Ideal for readers of church history, sacramental theology, and studies of liturgical development. If you want a clear, evidence-based look at how confirmation became what it is today, this edition offers thorough historical context without losing sight of the spiritual meaning.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, examining the development of sacramental theology, highlights the history of confirmation as a sacrament and its origins. The author posits that Christ only generically determined the matter and form of the sacrament, leaving specific choices to the Church. The book traces the history of the sacrament's matter and form from apostolic times to the present, arguing that confirmation, once given by an imposition of hands with prayer, was modified over time to include the indicative form and the use of chrism. It concludes that the history of the sacrament supports this generic determination. The book's insights add nuance to the understanding of confirmation's development, enhancing our knowledge of early Christian practices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
