The History of Sacerdotal Celibacy in the Christian Church is a book written by Henry C. Lea that explores the topic of celibacy among Christian priests throughout history. The book delves into the origins of celibacy in the early Christian church and how it evolved over time. Lea examines the controversies and debates surrounding celibacy, including its relationship with the rise of monasticism and the role of women in the church. The book also discusses the impact of celibacy on the Catholic Church, including the Reformation and the Council of Trent. Overall, The History of Sacerdotal Celibacy in the Christian Church provides a comprehensive look at the history and significance of celibacy in the Christian faith.This work was written as a historical study. It was the author's aim to avoid polemics, and he therefore sought merely to state facts as he found them, without regard to their bearing on either side of the question involved. The scope of this work is designedly confined to the enforced celibacy of the sacerdotal class, and other classes are pointedly not included.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
