Apostolic Succession In The Light Of History And Fact: The Congregational Union Lecture For 1897 (1898)

By John Brown

Book Overview

Apostolic Succession In The Light Of History And Fact: The Congregational Union Lecture For 1897 (1898) is a book written by John Brown. The book explores the concept of apostolic succession and its historical and factual basis. The author argues that the idea of apostolic succession, which asserts that the authority of the apostles has been passed down through the generations of bishops, is not supported by historical evidence. Instead, Brown suggests that the authority of the apostles is found in the teachings of the Bible and the faith of the church. The book is based on a lecture given by the author to the Congregational Union in 1897 and was published the following year. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of its beliefs and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
