Product Description

""A History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences in the Latin Church V1"" is a comprehensive book written by Henry Charles Lea. It delves into the history of confession and indulgences within the Latin Church, exploring the evolution of these practices from the early Christian era to the Middle Ages. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the history of auricular confession, which is the practice of confessing one's sins to a priest in private. The second volume discusses indulgences, which are the remissions of temporal punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. Lea's book provides a detailed analysis of the development of these practices, including their theological and social implications. It also explores the controversies and debates surrounding confession and indulgences throughout history. This book is a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the history of Christianity, the Latin Church, and religious practices.1896. Part One of Three. Lea, American historian, utilizing primary sources, produced a series of works on the Roman Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. Although he was attacked by the Catholic Church in the United States for his criticism of church policy, Lea's work was highly praised by Catholic and non-Catholic scholars in Europe, and he received many honors abroad. A History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences is one of his most highly regarded works.
