Episcopacy by Divine Right Asserted

A vigorous defense of episcopal church government as divinely instituted, written amid the heated debates of the English Civil War era. Hall argues that the office of bishop traces directly to apostolic authority, answering objections from Presbyterian critics point by point. The work examines early church history, scriptural precedent in the pastoral epistles, and the testimony of Church Fathers to uphold the ancient order of bishops, priests, and deacons as God's design for church governance.
