Inhaltsangabe

This book introduces the reader to Septuagesima Sunday, the third Sunday before Lent. It discusses the nature of man and how it came into the world, the guilt and shame of sin, the punishment and fatal evils inseparably annexed thereto, and the means of grace whereby pardon may be obtained. The topics presented draw upon the ancient, medieval, and early modern scriptural traditions. The author connects the thematic depth of the book to repentance, and readers can expect to see how what we are to repent of, how we ought to repent, and the means of gaining reconciliation with God. Repentance is contingent upon understanding the reasons why we should repent, the author asserts, which include the consideration of such riches of Divine goodness, which were at first heaped upon us, should lead us to repentance. This book will appeal to those interested in early Christian liturgical practices, biblical history, and the importance of sin and redemption in the human experience.
