The Historic Episcopate (1910)

The Historic Episcopate is a book written by Robert Ellis Thompson and originally published in 1910. It is a detailed exploration of the history and significance of the episcopacy in the Christian church, particularly in the Anglican tradition. The book begins with an examination of the early Christian church and the development of the episcopate, tracing its evolution through the Middle Ages and the Reformation. Thompson then discusses the role of the episcopacy in the Anglican Church, including its relationship to other denominations and its place in the broader Christian community. Throughout the book, Thompson provides extensive historical and theological analysis, drawing on a wide range of sources to support his arguments. The Historic Episcopate is a valuable resource for scholars and students of church history, as well as for anyone interested in understanding the role of the episcopacy in the Christian church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
