The Convocation Book of 1606, also known as Bishop Overall's Convocation Book, is a comprehensive text on the governance of the Catholic Church. Written by John Overall, a prominent theologian and bishop of the Church of England, the book covers topics such as the authority of bishops, the role of the laity, and the administration of sacraments. Overall's writing reflects the tensions and debates of the time, as the Church of England sought to establish its own identity while still maintaining ties to the broader Catholic tradition. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of religious history, as well as anyone interested in the development of Christian theology and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
