Publisher's Synopsis
Apostolic ministry and authority has been defined and implemented differently over the centuries. In this brief study, the Scriptures are examined. Additionally, an investigation of the historical documents of the Church Fathers is included, followed by an inquiry on the modern Charismatic interpretations. Tough questions surrounding "apostolic succession" area addressed here. Perhaps these three angles of viewing apostolic ministry and authority could be sufficiently merged to form a more comprehensive view.
