Excerpt from The Invocation of Sain: An Article Reprinted, With Slight Additions, From the 'Church Quarterly Review'
This book consist of an article reprinted, with slight additions, from the Church Quarterly Review for January, 1899. In sending it to the press, the author wishes to acknowledge the consideration and generosity with which he was consistently treated during a period of over ten years by the late editor of the Review, Mr. Christopher Knight Watson, and to thank the present editor for his permission to reprint this article and for other kindness.
The article was written in the first instance because it seemed to the author that a matter of moment was suffering from controversial handling, and that a service might be rendered by the clear setting out of important facts.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a historically informed examination of the invocation of saints, an important practice within the Roman Catholic Church. The author presents evidence of this practice across the history of Christianity, from the earliest centuries through to the present, arguing that it is both licit and utilitarian to petition the saints to intercede with God on our behalf in prayer. The book is grounded in the writings of Christian leaders from across the ages and demonstrates how the invocation of saints developed from the belief that the saints are conscious and capable of prayer. The author also discusses the broader subject of the veneration of saints within Christianity, and the views of those who do not believe in the practice of invocation.
