The author grapples with the complex history of confession, examining both biblical and theological arguments, as well as historical precedent and its relationship to wider Christian tradition. The book directly confronts the common prejudice in England against confession, arguing for its necessity and offering a detailed guide for both priests and lay people. The book delves into the theological foundations of confession, including the distinctions between mortal and venial sin and the nature of absolution. The author argues that confession is not optional for those seeking forgiveness after falling into serious sin, and he underscores its importance in the preparation for Holy Communion. He also addresses the question of how to move people to confess their sins, suggesting strategies for preaching and individual guidance. This book provides a fascinating and historically rich exploration of confession as a sacrament, drawing on both scripture and centuries of theological and practical wisdom. Ultimately, the author offers practical steps and insights to help both clergy and laity understand and approach this important practice within their faith.
