The author carefully examines the two primary passages in the New Testament that mention anointing, those from the Gospel of Mark and the Epistle of James.

Drawing on evidence from liturgical texts and historical accounts, the author explores the evolution of the practice of anointing the sick over time. He delves into the debate surrounding the nature of anointing, whether it was primarily a means of physical healing, a sacramental act of spiritual cleansing, or both. The book meticulously traces the practice of anointing the sick through the centuries, shedding light on how its meaning and purpose shifted within the Church. The authorââ â¢s insightful examination of the anointing of the sick provides a valuable resource for understanding this ancient practice and its historical significance.
