Prelacy Discussed: Or A Book For Batavians (1848)

By Byron Sunderland

Book Overview

Prelacy Discussed: Or A Book For Batavians is a book written by Byron Sunderland in 1848. The book discusses the topic of prelacy, which refers to the system of government in the Christian church that is headed by bishops. In particular, the book focuses on the controversies surrounding prelacy in the Dutch Reformed Church, which was the dominant church in the Netherlands at the time. The author argues that prelacy is not necessary for the proper functioning of the church and that it can actually be detrimental to the spiritual well-being of the congregation. He also critiques the hierarchical structure of the church, arguing that it can lead to abuses of power and a lack of accountability. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and lay readers. Overall, Prelacy Discussed is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional views on church governance and offers a fresh perspective on the role of bishops in the 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.
