Priesthood And Clergy, Unknown To Christianity Or The Church A Community Of Co-Equal Brethren (1857)

""Priesthood and Clergy, Unknown to Christianity: Or The Church a Community of Co-Equal Brethren"" is a book written by George Bush in 1857. The book argues that the concept of priesthood and clergy in Christianity is not supported by the Bible and is a later addition to the religion. Instead, Bush proposes that the church should be seen as a community of equal members, with no hierarchy or special class of leaders. The book explores the history of the development of the priesthood and clergy in Christianity and offers a critique of the Catholic and Anglican churches' hierarchical structures. Bush also provides an alternative vision for the organization of the church, based on the principles of equality and democracy. The book is a significant contribution to the debate on the role of the clergy in Christianity and the nature of the church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
