sofer_mahir's review against another edition
3.0
A wealth of practical advice for spiritual leaders has been preserved in this book. Although this work isn't free from certain errors that had crept into the Church by its time (penance, denigration of marital relations, fanciful allegorical interpretations of Scripture etc.), the valuable insights far outweigh them. Of course, this means the book should be read with some caution, but it should certainly be read nonetheless.
The only reason I give it fewer than four stars is because it's not exactly the easiest read. Not because the translation is difficult, but because the book itself is a bit of a slog to work through -- especially in book three. But it's entirely worth the work for any pastor.
