The Quadrilateral (1865)

By Campbell MacKinnon

Book Overview

The Quadrilateral is a book written by Mackinnon Campbell in 1865. The book is a detailed account of the history and significance of the Quadrilateral, which was a declaration signed by representatives of the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church in 1870. The declaration outlined four key beliefs that these churches held in common, including the authority of the Bible, the importance of the Nicene Creed, the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist, and the apostolic succession of bishops. Campbell's book provides a comprehensive analysis of each of these beliefs and their historical context, as well as the significance of the Quadrilateral in the larger context of Christian unity and ecumenism. The book also explores the implications of the Quadrilateral for contemporary theological discussions and debates, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology and religious studies. Overall, The Quadrilateral offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and theology of these three major Christian traditions and their efforts to find common ground in the face of theological and ecclesiastical differences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
