Book Description

Excerpt from The Church and the Ministry in the Early Centuries: The Eighteenth Series of the Cunningham Lectures Dr. Moberly, in his eminently suggestive book, Ministerial Priesthood, has warned all students of early Church History to beware of mental presuppositions, unchallenged assumptions, hypotheses or postulates. The warning has been taken with all seriousness, even when the perusal of his book has suggested the thought that mental presuppositions, like sins, are more readily recognized in our neighbours than in ourselves. I feel bound to admit that three assumptions or postulates may be found underlying these lectures. Whether they are right or wrong the reader must judge.
