A thoughtful and well-researched response to J. Venn's controversial lectures on the Christian ministry and the Church of England. This book argues that the Church must be examined in light of both scripture and tradition, and that the ministry must be grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Church of England.
