Book Overview

""Laying On Of Hands: Or Plain Letters On Confirmation"" is a book written by John Downall in 1848 that aims to provide a comprehensive guide on the sacrament of confirmation in the Anglican Church. The book is structured as a series of letters addressed to a young person preparing for confirmation, and it covers a range of topics related to the ceremony, including its history, meaning, and significance.Through his letters, Downall explores the biblical foundations of confirmation, the role of the bishop in administering the sacrament, and the importance of preparation and self-examination for those seeking confirmation.
