The Testimony of Antiquity to the Supremacy of the Holy See [&C.].

""The Testimony Of Antiquity To The Supremacy Of The Holy See"" is a historical and theological book written by Robert Knox Sconce and published in 1854. The book presents a detailed examination of the historical evidence for the supremacy of the Holy See (the Pope) in the early Christian Church. Sconce argues that the early Church recognized the authority of the Pope as the successor of St. Peter, and that this authority was affirmed by the Church Fathers and the councils of the early Church. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of the history of the early Church. Sconce examines the writings of the Church Fathers, including St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and St. Ambrose, to show how they recognized the authority of the Pope. He also looks at the decisions of the early Church councils, such as the Council of Nicaea and the Council of Ephesus, to demonstrate that the Pope was recognized as the head of the Church. Sconce's book is a comprehensive study of the historical evidence for the supremacy of the Holy See, and it provides a valuable resource for scholars and theologians interested in the history of the Church. The book is written in a scholarly style, with extensive footnotes and references to primary sources. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the role of the Pope in the early Church.To Which Are Appended, A View Of The Scripture Proof Of St. Peter�������s Preeminence, And A List Of Anglican Misrepresentations.
