A Treatise on Divine Institutions and the Origin of Episcopacy in the Times of the Apostles (1874)

A Treatise On Divine Institutions And The Origin Of Episcopacy In The Times Of The Apostles is a book written by Henry Thomas Adamson and originally published in 1874. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the origins of the episcopacy, or the system of church government that involves bishops, in the early days of Christianity. Adamson delves into the historical and theological context of the time of the apostles and explores the development of the early Christian church. He argues that the episcopacy was not a later development, but rather was present from the beginning of the church. The book also discusses various other aspects of the early Christian church, including its worship practices, sacraments, and the role of the laity. The work is a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology and church history, as well as anyone interested in the origins of the Christian church and its institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
