The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D., Lord Bishop of Down, Connor, and Dromore, Vol. 7 of 15 (Classic Reprint): With a Life of the Author, and a Critical Examination of His Writings - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This book asserts that the institution of episcopacy can be traced back to Christ, who established a government for his church before leaving his apostles in charge. From the 2nd century forward, the apostles delegated this power to bishops. These early bishops possessed all the essential priestly functions because, as successors to the apostles' ordinary authority, they possessed the power to preach, baptize, ordain, and govern. The author examines how the term "apostle" was used in the New Testament and the early church. He contends that it was applied not only to the twelve original disciples but also to others who held similar roles and responsibilities. These included James, the Lord's brother, who served as the bishop of Jerusalem, and Epaphroditus, who was called the "apostle of the Philippians." Throughout the book, the author draws on historical sources and theological arguments to support his case for the divine institution of episcopacy. He explores the themes of apostolic succession, the role of bishops in the early church, and the importance of maintaining episcopal authority for the well-being of the church. The book offers a comprehensive examination of the origins and development of episcopacy, providing valuable insights into the structure and governance of the early church. It is a significant contribution to the study of church history and is essential reading for anyone interested in the historical and theological foundations of Christian ministry.
