Penance: From Rite to Right

The Reconciling Community: The Rite of Penance by James Dallen is a comprehensive history of the sacrament of reconciliation. It traces the development of the sacrament from early Christian days before there was a sacrament of penance to present times and includes all the various interpretations this sacrament has been given. Fascinating reading that laypeople can understand. Must reading for anyone who wants the historical perspective on how this sacrament has evolved. Liana Cunningham
