The evolution of episcopal elections reveals the political and social tensions and dynamics that influence the selection of bishops. The text analyses how such elections reflect the complexity of ecclesiastical structure from its origins in the New Testament to the present day. Election procedures never followed a fixed pattern, but were influenced by pre-existing traditions and contingent needs. The history of episcopal elections highlights the need for authority and consensus in the Christian community, exploring specific instances and historical developments that have shaped the current practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Melloni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004522093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004522091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alberto Melloni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526407180543,"sku":"9789004522091","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52dcfb2e-4487-4883-abca-72b54dc665ca.jpg?v=1737556095","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/episcopal-elections-in-the-churches-alberto-melloni-9789004522091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
