Apostolical Succession Volume Talbot Collection of British Pamphlets (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149890684)

"Apostolical Succession" by Richard Frederick Littledale, originally published in 1876, delves into the historical and theological aspects of apostolic succession within Christianity. This work, part of the Talbot Collection of British Pamphlets, explores the doctrine that the Christian ministry is derived from the apostles by a continuous succession, typically associated with the episcopacy. Littledale examines the arguments for and against this doctrine, drawing upon historical sources and theological reasoning.

The pamphlet offers insights into the 19th-century debates surrounding church authority, the validity of ministerial orders, and the nature of the Church itself. It will appeal to readers interested in church history, ecclesiology, and the historical controversies within Christianity, and offers a valuable perspective on a subject that continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions about church leadership and authority.
