Why does God use water, oil, bread, wine, vows, and the laying on of hands to communicate divine grace? In Sign and Mystery: A Theology of the Seven Sacraments, Terry R. Lynch explores the seven sacraments through the unifying lens of covenant, revealing how visible signs convey invisible realities and draw believers into the life of God.
Drawing on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Benedict XVI, and contemporary theologians such as Scott Hahn, this accessible yet deeply researched study examines Baptism, the Eucharist, Confirmation, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders. Each chapter shows how the sacraments are not merely symbolic acts, but living encounters with Christ that shape the believer's participation in the New Covenant.
Written for Catholic readers, students of theology, clergy, catechists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of sacramental life, Sign and Mystery combines historical insight, biblical scholarship, and theological reflection in a clear and engaging style.
Thoughtful, faithful, and richly informed, this book offers a compelling vision of the sacraments as the means by which God binds Himself to His people and continues His saving work in the world today. [Sign and M...cript copy PDF]
