Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the episcopacy, delving into its origins within the Christian Church. The author contends that the idea of a mandatory episcopal ordination as a requirement for true apostolic succession is a relatively modern development. It primarily arose in the 19th century with the Oxford Movement within the Church of England, but was not a historically held belief within the Anglican community prior to this. With meticulous research, the book traces the evolution of the episcopate from its New Testament origins, through the early Church, and the Middle Ages to the present day. The author argues that the emphasis on episcopal authority and the rigid adherence to apostolic succession have hindered Christian unity and obscured the true nature of the ministry of the church. By examining the historical record, this book sheds light on the origins and evolution of the episcopate, offering insights into the ongoing discussions surrounding church authority and the nature of Christian ministry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
