Overview

""The Sacraments; The Sacraments in General. Baptism. Confirmation"" is a definitive study of Roman Catholic dogmatic theology, offering a systematic and thorough examination of the sacramental life of the Church. This first volume of the sacramental series provides an essential foundation for understanding the nature, number, and efficacy of the seven sacraments, established upon the rigorous Scholastic principles that defined ecclesiastical scholarship in the early twentieth century. The work is divided into three primary sections. It opens with a broad theological treatment of the sacraments in general, detailing their institution by Jesus Christ, their outward signs, and their internal effects of sanctifying grace. The author then transitions into specific treatises on the first two sacraments of initiation: Baptism and Confirmation. Within these chapters, Msgr. Joseph Pohle and Arthur Preuss explore the scriptural foundations, the historical development of the rites, and the spiritual character conferred upon the soul. Written for students of theology and the clergy, ""The Sacraments; The Sacraments in General. Baptism. Confirmation"" remains a valuable resource for those seeking a clear, orthodox exposition of the channels of divine grace and their role in the economy of salvation.
