Synopsis

Discover a medieval commentary that unpacks penitence, sin, and mercy through the lens of the Seven Penitential Psalms. This volume presents John Fisher’s analysis in accessible, moral terms, using the story of Jonah to illustrate how sin grows from consent to pattern and deed, and how penance offers renewal.

- Examine how thoughts, choices, and habits deepen a fall from grace, and how repentance can restore a soul.
- See how the biblical figure Jonah is used to explain four, five, and even beyond four stages of fall, and what each stage means for the penitent.
- Learn how the text links penance, divine mercy, and the hope of everlasting rest and transformation.
- Understand practical reflections on humility, misused desires, and the journey from sin to spiritual renewal.

Ideal for readers of early religious commentary, medieval expositions of penitence, and those seeking a historical perspective on how sin and mercy were taught in this tradition.
