Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a perspective on the development of early Christian ministry through the lens of longstanding debates surrounding the power and role of bishops in the church. The author argues that the evidence from the third and fourth centuries strongly suggests that a form of diocesan episcopacy was in place from early on, and was considered to be an institution of Jesus Christ himself. This flies in the face of earlier theories from the authorâs critics that this hierarchical structure was a later innovation that corrupted the original egalitarian nature of Christian communities, presenting a more nuanced view of the evolution of church leadership and the origins of the modern structure of Christian denominations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
