The Gainsaying Of Core, In The Nineteenth Century: Or An Apology For The Christian Priesthood (1847)

The Gainsaying Of Core, In The Nineteenth Century: Or An Apology For The Christian Priesthood is a book written by William Brudenell Barter and published in 1847. The book is a defense of the Christian priesthood against the criticisms of the 19th century. The title of the book is taken from the biblical story of Korah's rebellion against Moses and Aaron in the book of Numbers. Barter argues that just as Korah's rebellion was punished by God, so too will those who reject the Christian priesthood be punished. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a different aspect of the Christian priesthood. Barter begins by discussing the history of the priesthood, tracing it back to the time of Moses and Aaron. He then goes on to argue that the priesthood is necessary for the proper functioning of the church and for the salvation of souls. He addresses the criticisms of the priesthood, including charges of corruption and hypocrisy, and argues that these are not inherent to the priesthood itself but rather the result of human failings. Throughout the book, Barter draws on scripture, tradition, and the writings of the early church fathers to support his arguments. He also addresses the objections of those who argue that the priesthood is no longer necessary in the modern world. Overall, The Gainsaying Of Core, In The Nineteenth Century: Or An Apology For The Christian Priesthood is a passionate defense of the Christian priesthood and its importance in the life of the church. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of the priesthood and its role in the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
