Fairly easy to read. Produced by Al Haines "The Church: Her Books and Her Sacraments" by E. E. Holmes is a religious treatise written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the role and significance of the Church, its teachings, and its sacred rituals, aiming to educate both clergy and laity about the fundamental aspects of the Catholic Church's function and doctrine. Holmes emphasizes the Church's importance as a channel of salvation through its sacraments and the necessity of its teachings as found in its scripture and prayer book. At the start of the treatise, the author introduces the concept of the Church, presenting it as a universal society led by Jesus Christ, which serves as a means of salvation for humanity. He outlines the foundational questions about the Church's identity, establishment, and purpose, while also noting that many churchgoers, despite their membership, may lack a clear understanding of its meaning and significance. He seeks to reinforce the belief that an informed laity plays a critical role in the Church’s mission, making it essential for them to grasp and communicate the tenets of their faith to others.
