Synopsis
Excerpt from A Letter to the Editor of the Church, in Answer to His Remarks on the Rev. Thomas Powell's Essay on Apostolical Succession
In the autumn of 1837, the Bishop of Toronto (then Arch: deacon of York) found it necessary to animadvert upon certain proceedings of the Kirk ofscotland, in which the Hon. Wm. Morris bore a prominent share; and Mr. Morris, as-you may recollect, requested that I would permit his reply' to those animadversions to be inserted in The Church. I declined this request and gave my reasons at some length for doing so; reasons which, I beg to say, apply with at least equal force to the comments or explanations you propose to furnish in answer to a recent review of mr.~powell's Work on Apostolical Succession. Moreover, I could not possibly pledge myself to the insertion of articles which I have not had the opportunity of reading.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the controversial essay on Apostolic Succession by the Reverend Mr. Powell. The author thoroughly examines the central arguments of the essay, presenting an alternative interpretation that challenges the traditional understanding of the role of bishops in the early Christian Church. Placing the debate within the broader context of the history of Christian thought, the author examines the historical and theological evidence supporting the claims of both sides. The book delves into the writings of early Church Fathers like Clement, Ignatius, Irenaeus and Tertullian, challenging the interpretation that these texts support the idea of an unbroken line of bishops from the apostles to the present day. The author argues that a careful examination of the evidence reveals a more nuanced picture, suggesting that the role of bishops in the early Church was more fluid and diverse than is typically assumed. This fresh perspective sheds light on the development of the hierarchical structure within the Christian Church, challenging the notion that it was established by divine decree from the very beginning. Overall, this book offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on Apostolic Succession, providing a rigorous and thought-provoking analysis that will interest scholars, theologians, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the history of Christian thought.
