Excerpt from An Enquiry Into the Doctrine of the Church of England Upon Absolution
Absolution is a doctrine so great, that the considera tion of any branch of it must involve consequences of no little importance to every Christian: an importance not to be estimated, when we have to argue points with which practice is concerned. Then the discussion can be no longer regarded by any one who is sincerely anxious to work out his salvation, as merely one among many questions debated in the schools; but he must acknowledge, in his own conscience, that he is himself deeply and personally interested in the truth, whatever that may at last he shewn to be.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the doctrine of priestly absolution in the Church of England by examining the forms of absolution contained in the Book of Common Prayer. It argues that absolution is a means of grace through which priests exercise the power to forgive sins, a power given to them by Christ. The author contends that this doctrine, often misunderstood, has been obscured by ritualists who have promoted private confession and absolution to the exclusion of public forms. The author, however, argues that the Church of England teaches that absolution can and should be given in the context of public worship, thereby offering forgiveness and reconciliation to all who are truly penitent.
