Excerpt from Review of the "Doctrines of the Church" "Vindicated From the Misrepresentations Of" "Dr. John Rice": And the Integrity of Revealed Religion Defended Against the 'No Comment Principle' of Promiscuous Bible Societies, by the Right Rev'd John S. Ravenscroft, D. D. Bishop of the Diocese of North-Carolina
It is easy to see, that in a society such as this, there is but little room for the exercise of government, in the common acceptatio'n of the term. Where the whole power is moral power, he, who most clearly and most affectionately, exhibits the truth, and lives the most exemplary life, exerts the greatest influence. So it was in the beginning. The first teachers of Christianity did not subdue the world by blustering and vapouring about apostolical dignity, and diocesan authority but they won their way to the hearts of men by love.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a response to a sermon by Bishop Ravenscroft, explores the author's critique of the Episcopal Church's exclusive claims of being the only true church, with its clergy the only divinely appointed ministers, and its sacraments the sole means of salvation. The author argues that these notions are not supported by reason, scripture, or the example of the early church. Criticizing the substitution of tradition for the authority of Scripture, the author highlights the need for religious freedom and the right of all Christians to interpret the Bible and participate in religious life without the mediation of priests. This book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of the church, the role of the clergy, and the authority of scripture.
