Synopsis

A sharp, accessible look at church authority and the limits of religious reform.

This non-fiction work examines enduring questions about who may teach in God’s name, and whether any church can claim universal, authoritative guidance. It contrasts historical Catholic claims with Protestant critiques, highlighting how views on a church’s power, unity, and truth have shaped Anglican debates and modern faith.

• See how authors argue for a single, historic authority as the basis for unity.
• Learn how debates about the nature of the church have influenced Anglican and Catholic perspectives.
• Explore the tension between religious tradition and reform in a critical, historical context.
• Understand the idea of a divinely authorized teacher and what that means for church authority today.

Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and debates on authority within Christianity, especially those curious about how past disputes echo in present beliefs.
