A History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences in the Latin Church is a comprehensive work by Henry Charles Lea that explores the historical development of the practice of auricular confession and the granting of indulgences in the Latin Church. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering the period from the early Christian Church to the end of the 14th century. The book provides a detailed account of the evolution of the practice of confession, including its origins in the early Church and its development into a formal sacrament in the medieval period. Lea examines the theological, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the growth of confession as a central aspect of Catholic piety, as well as the controversies and debates that surrounded the practice throughout its history. The second part of the book focuses on the history of indulgences, which are the remission of temporal punishment for sins that have already been forgiven. Lea traces the development of the concept of indulgences from its origins in the early Church to its widespread use in the medieval period. He also explores the controversies and abuses that arose around the granting of indulgences, including the infamous sale of indulgences by the Church in the 16th century. Overall, A History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences in the Latin Church is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism and the development of religious practices in the Western world. Lea's meticulous research and engaging writing style make this book an accessible and informative read for scholars and lay readers alike.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1896 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
