Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history of Anglican orders, exploring the significant role of Presbyterianism in their formation. The author meticulously pieces together accounts from Protestant historians, theologians, and the Anglican hierarchy themselves. It challenges traditional narratives, revealing that Episcopal ordination was neither universally accepted nor considered essential in the early Anglican Church. Instead, a wide range of ordination practices existed, including the recognition of Presbyterian ministers as priests.

Ultimately, it underscores the dynamic nature of religious institutions and the ongoing debates surrounding ecclesiastical authority and the legitimacy of ordination.
