Synopsis
The Scriptural Argument For Episcopacy Examined: First Published In The Quarterly Christian Spectator For March, 1834, And March, 1835 by Albert Barnes. This early 19th-century tract reexamines H. U. Onderdonk's Episcopacy Tested by Scripture from a Protestant parity perspective, arguing that New Testament ministry was not divided into an exclusive bishopric. Barnes seeks to confine church government to scriptural warrant, insisting that the burden of proof rests on proponents of episcopal hierarchy. The text surveys key biblical passages, especially the relationship between apostles and elders, the authority of ordination, and the supposed permanent superiority of bishops. It argues that the apostles bore witness to Christ’s resurrection rather than possessing lasting hierarchical prerogatives, and it challenges supposed apostolic lineages. While acknowledging Episcopal history’s value, Barnes emphasizes the sufficiency of Scripture as the sole rule of faith and church order, advocating ministerial parity and gospel-centered governance.
