By Lyman Coleman and August Neander

Book Overview

""A Church Without A Bishop: The Apostolical And Primitive Church, Popular In Its Government And Simple In Its Worship"" is a book written by Lyman Coleman that explores the history and practices of the early Christian church. The book argues that the early church was organized in a more democratic and decentralized manner than the hierarchical structure that developed in later centuries. The author discusses the role of bishops, priests, and deacons in the early church, as well as the practices of baptism, communion, and worship. The book provides a detailed analysis of the biblical texts and historical documents that inform our understanding of the early church. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of church structures and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
