Overview

This is a first study of the extent to which St. Augustine understood lay Christians to share the power to bind and loose sinners. They bind them through fraternal correction and loose them through their prayers. Fr. Carola elaborates thoroughly Augustine's theological and pastoral vision of lay participation in ecclesial reconciliation.
