Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This text analyzes the history and evolution of the Presbyterian and Episcopalian traditions, delving into scripture to support its observations. The author contrasts scripture with the concept of prelacy, the idea that all authority within a church should be concentrated in a single person â" a bishop. The text offers a critical examination of hierarchy within the church, and the author systematically takes apart the primary arguments of the proponents of prelacy. The author focuses on the terms 'bishop' and 'presbyter,' demonstrating that the two terms were originally related and equal in the church, and that the elevation of bishops above presbyters was a later development. By contrast, opponents of prelacy believe that all church leaders should bear the same title and authority, and that any concept of a single church leader is unbiblical. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to understand the origins and justifications for the two forms of church governance, and their ongoing tension.
