Understanding the Sacraments of Initiation offers insightful catechesis on the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist based on the methodology presented in Sacramentum Caritatis. Examining each of the rites' Old Testament foundations, liturgical history, and sacramental theology, this book explores the connection between the Sacraments of initiation and daily Christian Life.
“Randy Stice’s rite-based approach combines a comprehensive treatment of theological issues with a pastoral walk through the celebration, which is what most people will encounter. Thus these slender volumes are accessible to the lay reader but challenging to the students of theology.” —David W. Fagerberg, PhD Professor, Liturgical Studies University of Notre Dame
“Drawing on the ancient tradition of mystagogy, Randy Stice makes the sacraments and the liturgical rites not only understandable but also exciting. In this wonderful, accessible series we are treated to an unusually clear and beautiful recounting of the sacraments, including extensive attention to their biblical foundations and liturgical enactment. These fantastic books are now at the top of my list for anyone, scholar or layperson, in need of a liturgically sophisticated sacramental primer.” —Matthew Levering, PhD James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology University of St. Mary of the Lake /Mundelein Seminary
“Randy Stice offers a rich yet accessible resource for the promotion of a truly liturgical spirituality. Stice’s rite-based approach provides the reader with a thorough understanding of each sacrament in its scriptural and ritual context, and a consideration of how each transforms the faithful for the fullness of Christian life. I highly recommended this resource for both parish and classroom.” —Daria Spezzano, PhD Assistant Professor of Theology Providence College
