A sharp, historically grounded exchange on church governance and doctrine
In these letters, George Weller responds to Dr. Samuel Miller’s public criticisms with a careful examination of Episcopal principles and Christian ministry in early America. The work foregrounds debates about liturgy, church order, and how Protestants have understood tradition and authority.
Two lengthy letters frame the dispute, offering detailed arguments, counterpoints, and reflections on the role of editors in shaping public opinion. The author reviews Miller’s writings, cites critics and witnesses, and defends the Episcopal church’s stance in a complex, faction-filled era."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the beliefs and arguments presented by Samuel Miller, a Professor of Ecclesiastical History, in opposition to the concept of Episcopacy, the hierarchical structure of the church with bishops, priests, and deacons. The author refutes Millers assertions that there is no scriptural support for Episcopacy. The author shows that from the earliest days of the church there have been higher ranks of clergy, including apostles, elders or bishops, and deacons, and that the concept of apostolic succession was held by the earliest church leaders. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the history and structure of the early church and its relevance to the modern church.
