Excerpt from Christian Unity and the Historic Episcopate In the preparation of this work, the author has endeavoured to keep in mind the unlearned as well as the learned; hence some things which to the latter may seem super uous. It is hoped that Christian people who are not familiar with ecclesias tical terms or the history of the Church and her Councils, will find no difficulty in understanding any part of what is herein written. The effort has been conscientiously made to present a clear, straightforward statement of the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
