Synopsis

Episcopacy Tested By Scripture: To Which Are Appended Five Essays (1840) is a book written by Henry Ustick Onderdonk. The book explores the concept of Episcopacy and its relationship with the teachings of the Bible. The author argues that the Episcopacy is not only consistent with the teachings of the Bible, but also necessary for the proper functioning of the Church. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the scriptural basis for Episcopacy, with a particular focus on the New Testament. The author looks at various passages in the Bible that discuss the role of bishops and argues that these passages provide clear evidence for the importance of Episcopacy in the Church. The second part of the book consists of five essays that expand on the themes explored in the first part. These essays cover a range of topics, including the history of Episcopacy, the relationship between bishops and other clergy, and the role of bishops in the Church's governance. Overall, Episcopacy Tested By Scripture is a detailed exploration of the concept of Episcopacy and its relationship with the Bible. The book provides a thorough examination of the scriptural basis for Episcopacy and offers insights into the history and practice of the Episcopacy in the Church. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the role of bishops in the Church and the relationship between the Bible and Church governance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Siixcii the second reply to Mr. Barnes was printed in the Protestant Episcopalian, we have observed, in turning casually over the pages of his little volume, that he has there extracted at large, what he merely referred to in the first edition of his first review, the argument of the late Dr. Wilson, that Timothy was placed at Ephesus by Paul at the time the latter fled from that city, in consequence of the riot or uproar mentioned in A cts XX. 1. We did not deem it necessary to answer a mere reference to an argument contained in a different work from the one then before us. But as the full reprint of it may seem to make our reply incomplete, particularly to the assertion of Mr. Barnes, which he of course deems more fully illustrated by the extract from Dr. Wilson, that Timothy was placed at Epliesus only temporarily, we refer, in return, to the arguments of Macknight, concerning the date of the first epistle to him, and his connexion with the church in that city. (S ee his Preface to the Epistle, sect. 2; and Life of Paul, chap, xi.) We also ask the readers attention to an essay on the subject, from the Protestant Episcopalian, for May, 1831; which is here reprinted after our answer to Mr. Barnes first review. H. U. O.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
