Vindication Of The Episcopal Or Apostolical Succession is a book written by John Sinclair in 1839. The book is a defense of the idea that the authority of the Christian church is derived from the apostles and their successors, the bishops. Sinclair argues that the apostolic succession is a vital component of the Christian faith and that without it, the church would lose its authority and legitimacy. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the apostolic succession. Sinclair discusses the origins of the doctrine, its importance in the early church, and its role in the modern church. He also addresses common objections to the doctrine, such as the claim that it is based on a flawed understanding of history or that it is an unnecessary and outdated concept. Throughout the book, Sinclair draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, the writings of the early church fathers, and the history of the church. He presents a compelling case for the apostolic succession and argues that it is an essential part of the Christian faith. Overall, Vindication Of The Episcopal Or Apostolical Succession is a thorough and well-researched exploration of an important aspect of Christian doctrine. It will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the history of the church or the development of Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
