The Awe-Inspiring Rites of Initiation - The Origins of the RCIA - Thryft

Insightful exploration of Christian initiation rituals.

If you're deeply invested in the spiritual and historical underpinnings of Christian practices, "The Awe-Inspiring Rites of Initiation" could greatly enrich your understanding. Father Yarnold harmonizes a scholarly lens with pastoral sensitivity as he navigates the Rite of Christian Initiation's ancient roots and modern practice. His precision in detailing the ceremonies and their evolution from early church sermons offers an invaluable resource to both clerics and historians alike.

Description

This new edition of Father Yarnold's authoritative work has been recast to correspond throughout with the Rite of Christian Initiation as it now exists. Anyone with a serious pastoral or scholarly interest in the rite will benefit from this definitive blend of history, theology, patristics, and liturgy. Each period and step of the RCIA is explained and compared to the fourth-century rite after which the modern one was modeled. This second edition provides a clearer and more accurate account of the three anointings and a better explanation of the scrutinies. The sermons of Cyril, Ambrose, Chrysostom, and Theodore, which form the basis of our understanding of the rite as originally celebrated, are conveniently gathered in this one volume in an accurate and readable English translation, with introductions and notes.
