Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth analysis of the historical origins of episcopacy and its claims to being the only true form of the Christian ministry and discusses the scriptural, patristic, and historical evidence for and against the divine institution of episcopacy. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, the writings of the early Church Fathers, and the history of the Christian Church, to provide a comprehensive examination of the subject and scrutinizes the idea that apostolic succession can only be traced through bishops in the line of uninterrupted succession. This book will prove to be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of Christian ministry and the origins of the various offices within the Church and will be of particular interest to scholars of church history and those engaged in ecumenical dialogue between different Christian traditions.
