General Principles of Sacramental Theology Paperback – December 17, 2017

This purchase was made for a used book, but it is like brand new! Thank you seller for a fantastic deal! A very clear succinct writing on Sacramental Theology, I especially enjoy the chapter on Sacramental Matter and Form … beautiful and profound treatment on why we do what we do, when we worship. A treasure for theology students!

A nephew is in the seminary and wanted some basic theology books. Not knowing much about the subject, I knew Amazon would have a wide selection and quick shipping times. He enjoyed this book very much and found it contained a lot of helpful information. Always happy when gift if a great match.

This book was a Christmas gift for my husband.

Excellent explanation on the sacraments & how Christ Himself operates in them & produces in us specific grace for specific areas of our lives.Great teaching book. Gave me a better understanding on what the sacraments do and why they are so vital.

This author is orthodox and very clear. Highly recommend his book for seminaries.

I was lucky enough to be one of Dr. Nutt's students, and we read this text for his class. His understanding of the sacraments as crucial for the life of the Church is incredible, and his contribution to sacramental theology a great service to the Catholic Church. Buy this book!

there is a lot of theology crammed in each chapter. it takes a little digesting to get it but a good book for your library.

An excellent introduction to sacramental theology. Particularly helpful is the way Nutt clears up some of the misunderstandings that arose in the Liturgical Movement. For example, Odo Casel's theory that the Liturgy makes the event of Christ's Passion, death, and Resurrection present. Nutt argues that past events do not (as past) become present in the Sacraments—rather those mysteries are in risen and ascended Christ in the mode glory, and their power is mediated through the instrumental causality of the Sacraments, to give us participation in the glorified Christ.
