The Validity of Presbyterian Ordination Asserted and Maintained (Classic Reprint): A Discourse Delivered at the Anniversary Dudleian-Lecture, at ... New England, May 12, 1762 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book examines the debate over the validity of Presbyterian ordination in the 18th century. The author argues that ordination by presbyters is valid and in accordance with the New Testament. Presbyterian ordination, the author claims, does not require the involvement of a bishop. Ordaining ministers with the laying on of hands by presbyters, according to the author, is a valid form of ordination. This method of ordination, the author argues, is equally valid to ordination by a bishop, and is also consistent with early Christian practices. This book will be of interest to religious scholars and historians interested in the history of Christianity and the development of church practices.
