If you would like to know about Confirmation -- where it comes from, what it means, it's future -- this book is for you. It is a reissue of Fisher's classic study of the sacramental rite of Confirmation. Fisher examines what the early rite of Confirmation consisted of and what grace it was believed to confer in the period when there is undisputed evidence of the rite's existence. The text moves from early nonbiblical evidence through a survey of African, European, and near-Eastern regions in the third and fourth centuries, before exploring the emergence of the ritual called "Confirmation" in fourth and fifth century Gaul. Fisher then moves across the ages to the more recent discussions in the Anglican communion about the confirmation liturgy.
