Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This 19th-century work is a historical examination of differing viewpoints on whether a bishop can give up their jurisdiction. The author argues that a bishop's ecclesiastical office is rooted in the church's history and cannot be relinquished. This book provides a detailed discussion of the 1801 dispute involving Bishop Provoost of New York, and the subsequent consecration of Bishop Moore as his assistant, arguing that Provoost's offer to resign was not accepted, and that Moore served as a suffragan with limited authority. The author's analysis of this ecclesiastical debate illuminates the complexities of episcopal authority and the importance of understanding historical context in interpreting church governance.
