Publisher's Synopsis
The History And Claims Of The Confessional: A Sermon is a book written by Charles Parsons Reichel and published in 1884. The book explores the history and claims of the confessional, which is a sacrament in the Catholic Church where a person confesses their sins to a priest in order to receive absolution. Reichel examines the origins of the confessional, its development over time, and its place in the Catholic Church. He also discusses the controversy surrounding the confessional, particularly in Protestant circles, and argues for its importance as a means of spiritual healing and guidance. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is intended for a general audience interested in the history and practices of the Catholic Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
