Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and nature of priestly powers. The author argues that the idea of a priestly class with exclusive divine powers is a relatively late development in human history, and that no such class ever existed in the early Jewish or Christian traditions. The author presents evidence from the Old and New Testaments to support this claim, arguing that the role of priests in both traditions was primarily to perform certain rituals and ceremonies, and that they did not possess any special spiritual authority. The author also argues that the concept of a priesthood is incompatible with the basic principles of Christianity, which emphasizes the direct relationship between God and each individual believer. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of the history of religion, and it offers a fresh perspective on the role of priests in society. It will be of interest to scholars and general readers alike.
