Priestcraft in Perfection: Or, a Detection of the Fraud of Inserting and Continuing This Clause (the Church Hath Power to Decree Rites and Ceremo
Priestcraft In Perfection, by Anthony Collins, delves into a contentious theological debate within the Church of England during the early 18th century. This work meticulously examines the insertion and subsequent continuation of the clause asserting the Church's authority to decree rites, ceremonies, and adjudicate matters of faith within the twentieth article of the Church of England's articles. Collins challenges the legitimacy and implications of this clause, dissecting its historical context and theological ramifications. The book offers insights into the power dynamics and doctrinal disputes that shaped religious institutions of the time. "Priestcraft In Perfection" remains a significant historical document for scholars and readers interested in the history of Anglicanism, religious criticism, and the evolution of theological thought.
