Publisher's Synopsis
Apostolical Succession: In The Church Of England is a historical and theological book written by Arthur West Haddan in 1887. The book explores the concept of apostolic succession within the Church of England, which is the belief that the authority and power of the apostles were passed down to their successors in an unbroken chain of ordination. Haddan examines the history of the Church of England and its relationship to the wider Christian Church, tracing the development of the doctrine of apostolic succession from the early church to the present day. He also explores the controversies and debates surrounding the issue, including the role of bishops in the church and the validity of ordination. The book provides a detailed analysis of the theological and historical arguments for and against apostolic succession, and offers insights into the ongoing debates within the Church of England on this topic. Overall, Apostolical Succession is a valuable resource for scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and theology of the Church of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
