Excerpt from Works of Episcopacy, Vol. 2: Containing the Second Series of Dr. Bowden's Letters to Dr. Miller; Dr. Cooke's Essay on the Invalidity of Presbyterian Ordination; And Episcopacy Tested by Scripture
What an astonishing gloss is here given! Who that has not read your letters could possibly suppose, from your account that they (contain any thing but wholesome advice, practical instruction, and cordial exhortations to virtue and piety 7 0° would suppose that this was not their nature; but that, on the contrary,'they are altogether controversial? And into whose head, Sir, do you suppose it ever entered, that a book, designed to prove episcopacy a usurpation, a corruption of the Church.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a perspective on the development of early Christian ministry through the lens of longstanding debates surrounding the power and role of bishops in the church. The author argues that the evidence from the third and fourth centuries strongly suggests that a form of diocesan episcopacy was in place from early on, and was considered to be an institution of Jesus Christ himself. This flies in the face of earlier theories from the authorâs critics that this hierarchical structure was a later innovation that corrupted the original egalitarian nature of Christian communities, presenting a more nuanced view of the evolution of church leadership and the origins of the modern structure of Christian denominations.
