About This Book

A theological-historical study examines councils and the writings of the first six centuries to defend the Church of England against charges of schism by disputing the claim of absolute papal supremacy. The author distinguishes an early, recognised primacy and patriarchal order from the later conception of monarchical papal authority, surveys conciliar procedures and patristic testimony to support continuity with ancient practice, acknowledges contemporary abuses while urging reform, and frames the controversy as an ecclesiological and evidentiary debate resolved through close reading of early Church sources.
