Three Lectures On The Supposed Apostolical Succession And Authority Of A Christian Priesthood is a book written by Henry Acton in 1840. The book is a series of lectures that challenge the idea of apostolic succession and the authority of Christian priesthood. Acton argues that the concept of apostolic succession is flawed and that it has no biblical basis. He also argues that the idea of a Christian priesthood is unnecessary and that it undermines the priesthood of all believers. Acton's lectures were controversial at the time and sparked a debate within the Church of England. The book is a significant work in the history of Anglicanism and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about the role of the clergy in Christian communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
