SACRAMENTAL THEOLOGY Volume 2: Confession & Anointing of the Sick
4 CD set
$24.95
In this new trilogy, based on college-level lectures, Dr. Brant Pitre brings his knowledge of Sacred Scripture and ancient Jewish tradition to bear on a topic that touches every Catholic’s spiritual life: the Seven Sacraments. In Part 2, Dr. Pitre focuses on the two sacraments of healing: Confession and the Anointing of the Sick. In this second part of the trilogy, you will study topics such as:
• The Mystery of Sin: In order to understand the sacraments of healing, we first need to understand what is sin and how it wounds us. What is mortal sin? What is venial sin? Where are these taught in Scripture,
and how can we avoid them?
• Sacrament of Confession: In our time, there is perhaps no sacrament more criticized (and more needed) than Confession. But people often ask: “Why do I need to go to a priest”? Is there any biblical basis for
confession to a priest? Why did St. Augustine say that the reconciliation of a sinner was “a greater miracle than the creation of heaven and earth”?
• The Anointing of the Sick: Nowadays, almost no sacrament is more overlooked than the anointing of the sick. And yet everyone suffers, and we will all die. What are the biblical bases of this sacrament, and
what does it mean to call it “the sacrament of redemptive suffering”?
• The Mystery of Indulgences: In a special bonus, Dr. Pitre gives an extensive explanation of the much misunderstood practice of Indulgences. Does the Church still practice Indulgences? Is there any biblical bases for them? Learn where indulgences are taught in Scripture (by Jesus!), why indulgences are one of the best-kept secrets in the Church, and why the Enemy does not want you to understand (or practice) them.
The sacraments are the most important (and most misunderstood) aspects of Catholic faith and life, and this trilogy is Dr. Pitre’s most detailed study yet. Don’t miss it!
