Sacraments, Signs and Symbols: With Essays on Related Topics is a book written by W. Norman Pittenger. The book explores the meaning and significance of sacraments, signs, and symbols in Christianity. It is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and marriage. Each sacrament is explored in detail, including its history, meaning, and significance in the Christian faith.The second part of the book focuses on signs and symbols in Christianity, including the cross, the Bible, the creeds, and the liturgical calendar. Pittenger explores how these symbols are used in worship and how they help to deepen our understanding of the Christian faith.Throughout the book, Pittenger emphasizes the importance of these sacraments, signs, and symbols in the life of the Christian community. He argues that they are not simply empty rituals, but rather powerful means of grace that connect us to God and to one another.In addition to the main text, the book includes several essays on related topics, including the nature of the church, the role of the laity, and the relationship between faith and reason. These essays provide additional context and insight into the broader themes of the book.Overall, Sacraments, Signs and Symbols: With Essays on Related Topics is a comprehensive exploration of the meaning and significance of sacraments, signs, and symbols in Christianity. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and its practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
