From Apostle to Priest: A Study of Early Church Organization is a book written by James W. Falconer in 1900. The book examines the transition of the early Christian church from a simple apostolic organization to a more complex priesthood hierarchy. Falconer delves into the historical and social context of the early church, tracing the development of its organizational structure and the role of its leaders. He explores the influence of Roman society and government on the early church, as well as the theological and doctrinal debates that shaped its evolution. The book draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, early Christian writings, and historical records. Falconer's analysis provides valuable insight into the early Christian church and its development, shedding light on the origins of many of the practices and beliefs that continue to shape Christianity today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
