Dependence: Or the Insecurity of the Anglican Position (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book frames an argument that papal authority has risen from a Scriptural basis. The author resorts to a historical review of the Council of Jerusalem, the Council of Chalcedon, the teachings of famous fathers of the Church, and a lengthy analysis of the debate concerning Pope Honorius I. From this, the author makes the case that Scriptural and historical evidence supports the claim that the papacy should hold doctrinal authority over the universal Church. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
