Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Powers of Ecclesiastics, on the Principles of Scripture and Reason
But, though he can promife nothing ori ginal attached to no religious party, warped by prejudices to no efiablifhed creed, and un der the influence of no authority, but the au thority of the fcriptures - he hath, at leali, the merit of treading in a track wholly his own. He hath borrowed from no one. The materials are wholly drawn from his own ideas, and the belt judgement he could form from the divine record, and the malignant tendency of thofe tenets he hath attempted to overturn; and will therefore, in all probability, exhibit fome features fufiicient to mark a difference, in the manner and execution, from any other who may have written on the fame ftibjeét. And it is not impoflible, that what made fome ijnpreflion upon his own mind, if he hath been happy enough to 'exprcfs himfelf with perfpi cuity, may have a fimilar effe€t upon the minds of others.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins and nature of priestly powers. The author argues that the idea of a priestly class with exclusive divine powers is a relatively late development in human history, and that no such class ever existed in the early Jewish or Christian traditions. The author presents evidence from the Old and New Testaments to support this claim, arguing that the role of priests in both traditions was primarily to perform certain rituals and ceremonies, and that they did not possess any special spiritual authority. The author also argues that the concept of a priesthood is incompatible with the basic principles of Christianity, which emphasizes the direct relationship between God and each individual believer. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of the history of religion, and it offers a fresh perspective on the role of priests in society. It will be of interest to scholars and general readers alike.
