The Sources of the Symbolical lay Communion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781171685203)

"The Sources of the Symbolical Lay Communion" delves into the historical origins and theological underpinnings of lay communion practices within Christianity. This study by George L.

It examines the historical context in which these practices emerged and evolved, offering insights into the varying interpretations and controversies surrounding lay communion throughout Christian history.

This work is valuable for those interested in the history of Christian rituals, the development of sacramental theology, and the evolving role of the laity within Christian traditions. It offers a detailed examination of the sources that shaped this particular aspect of Christian worship, making it a significant contribution to the understanding of Christian practice.
