Synopsis

This book dives into the complex history of episcopacy in Methodism, starting with a discussion about the validity of Methodist ordination and tracing the origins of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. The author compares the Methodist Church's practices and doctrines with those of the early Christian church and analyzes the evolution of Methodist polity and beliefs over several centuries. In doing so, the author challenges the notion that the Methodist Episcopal Church is not an original church and presents a persuasive case for its legitimacy and fidelity to Christian tradition. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of different denominations within it.
