Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book asserts a perspective challenging the divine right of episcopacy. The author contends that the three-tiered order of bishops, priests, and deacons lacks scriptural backing and was not part of the earliest Christian churches. Instead, they argue that the New Testament supports the notion of a more democratic structure incorporating apostles, prophets, evangelists, elders, teachers, and deacons, all of whom shared similar roles and responsibilities. The author examines historical sources, including the writings of early Church Fathers, to bolster their position that episcopacy emerged as a gradual development in later centuries. They contend that the concept of apostolic succession, central to the notion of a divinely ordained clergy, cannot be traced back to the time of the apostles. This book delves into the history and foundations of church governance, providing fresh insights into the nature of religious authority and the evolution of Christian institutions.
