Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical record to challenge the widely held belief in a direct line of Roman Popes presiding over the Christian Church in its earliest years. Through a painstaking reassessment of existing primary sources and a review of the political and cultural context of the time, the author argues that many of the documents traditionally relied upon to establish this apostolic succession are, in fact, forgeries of a later date. This book questions the divine right of the Roman bishop to rule the Universal Church and presents a fresh perspective on the origins of Christianity, the nature of the Roman episcopate, and the evolution of ecclesiastical power. This insightful work will appeal to scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the early history of the Christian Church and the nature of religious authority.
