Publisher's Synopsis
The Testimony of Saint Cyprian Against Rome is a historical essay written by George Ayliffe Poole in 1838. The book examines the views of Saint Cyprian, a prominent Christian bishop and martyr who lived in the third century AD, on the issue of papal supremacy. Cyprian was a major figure in the early Christian church and his writings provide important insights into the development of Christian theology and doctrine.In this book, Poole analyzes Cyprian's writings and argues that the bishop was opposed to the idea of papal supremacy. Poole contends that Cyprian believed in the equality of all bishops and that the authority of the church should be derived from the collective wisdom of its members, rather than from a single individual or institution. The book also explores the historical context in which Cyprian lived and the political and religious tensions of the time.Overall, The Testimony of Saint Cyprian Against Rome is a scholarly work that provides valuable insights into the early history of the Christian church and the development of its doctrines. It offers a nuanced and detailed analysis of Cyprian's views on papal supremacy and sheds light on the broader debates and controversies that shaped the early Christian church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
