The Canonical Epistle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162690254)

The Canonical Epistle by Peter Bishop of Alexandria is a religious text that contains a collection of letters written by the bishop to other leaders within the Christian community. The letters focus on issues of church governance and discipline, addressing topics such as the qualifications for clergy, the handling of disputes among members of the church, and the proper administration of sacraments. The book is considered an important historical document, providing insight into the early Christian church and its practices. It is also valued for its contribution to the development of canon law, which governs the practices and procedures of the church. Overall, The Canonical Epistle is a significant work that offers a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the early Christian church.But to those who have been delivered up, and have fallen, who also of their own accord have approached the contest, confessing themselves to be Christians, and have been tormented and thrown into prison, it is right with joy and exultation of heart to add strength, and to communicate to them in all things, both in prayer, and in partaking of the body and blood of Christ, and in hortatory discourse; in order that contending the more constantly, they may be counted worthy of ""the prize of their high calling.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
