Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whose Are the Fathers?: Or the Teaching of Certain Anglo-Catholics, on the Church and Its Ministry, Contrary Alike to the Holy Scriptures, to the Fathers of the First Six Centuries, and to Those of the Reformed Church of England; With a Catena Patrum of the First Centuries and O The doctrine held by certain Anglicans, that an uninterrupted stream of grace has come down to the English Church from Christ through the Apostles, exclusively by the episcopal office, and that without such grace, so communicated, there cannot be a valid church and valid sacraments, is either a dangerous delusion, or, to use the words of a recent writer, ´is one of the most fundamental of all church principles.´ It is a doctrine to which no well-instructed Christian can be indifferent. Were it an innocent fiction, the case would be materially altered; for although we might pity the man who believed so much on such insufficient evidence, yet if his general faith were not affected by it, such a harmless speculation might be tolerated. But a hearty belief in this doctrine constitutes the difference between an evangelical protestant and a superstitious papist; between one who adheres to the Canonical Scriptures simply and one whose faith has several objects to which it must be directed, and all considered to be of equal importance; or, to use the language of the Bishop of Oxford, ´a hearty belief alike in the sacraments of the Church, her creeds, her orders, and her bible.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
