Vindication of the Episcopal or Apostolical Succession

By John Sinclair

Book Overview

Vindication Of The Episcopal Or Apostolical Succession is a book written by John Sinclair in 1839. The book is an argument in favor of the concept of apostolic succession within the Episcopal Church. Sinclair argues that the authority of the church comes from its direct lineage to the apostles, and that this lineage is necessary for the proper functioning of the church. He also argues that the apostolic succession is supported by scripture and the early church fathers. The book provides a historical overview of the development of the concept of apostolic succession and its importance in the Anglican tradition. It also addresses criticisms of the concept and provides rebuttals to those criticisms. Overall, Vindication Of The Episcopal Or Apostolical Succession is an important work for those interested in the history and theology of the Anglican Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
