Summary: | The importance of Herm for the penitential practice of the church is still much discussed as to whether he is a rigorist in limiting repeated penance or whether he is lenient in allowing a last chance for penance.

Legitimized by visions, the book found widespread reception and worked as a catalyst for later attempts to solve the problem. |
