by Felix L. Cirlot (Author)

""Apostolic Succession and Anglicanism: A Defense of Anglican Orders and Catholicity"" by Felix L. Cirlot is a comprehensive examination of the Anglican Church's claim to apostolic succession and its place within the wider Catholic Church. The book explores the history of Anglican orders, tracing their roots back to the early Church and examining the controversies that have surrounded them over the centuries.Cirlot argues that the Anglican Church's claim to apostolic succession is valid and that it has a rightful place within the Catholic Church. He defends the validity of Anglican orders and explores the theological and historical reasons behind the Church of England's break with Rome.The book also examines the role of the bishop within the Anglican Church and how this relates to the concept of apostolic succession. Cirlot argues that the bishop is the key figure in maintaining the continuity of the Church's apostolic tradition and that this is essential for the Church's catholicity.Overall, ""Apostolic Succession and Anglicanism"" is a comprehensive and well-researched exploration of an important aspect of Anglican theology and history. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Anglicanism, Catholicism, and Church history, as well as to anyone interested in the ongoing debates surrounding apostolic succession and the Catholicity of the Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
