The Polity of the Christian Church: Of Early, Mediaeval, and Modern Times is a book written by Alessio Aurelio Pelliccia and published in 1883. The book is a comprehensive study of the structure, organization, and governance of the Christian Church throughout history, from its early beginnings to modern times. The author examines the various forms of church polity that have emerged over time, including episcopal, presbyterian, and congregational systems, and how they have influenced the development of the Church. Pelliccia provides a detailed analysis of the role of bishops, priests, and deacons, as well as the relationship between the clergy and the laity. He also explores the impact of political and social factors on the Church's polity, such as the rise of monarchies and the Reformation. The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different period in the history of the Church. Part one focuses on the early Church, from the apostolic age to the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. Part two covers the medieval period, from the 4th to the 15th century, and examines the development of the papacy, the rise of monasticism, and the schism between the Eastern and Western Churches. Part three covers the modern period, from the 16th century to the present day, and looks at the impact of the Reformation, the rise of Protestantism, and the changes brought about by Vatican II. Overall, The Polity of the Christian Church is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and governance of the Christian Church. Pelliccia's thorough research and detailed analysis provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the Church's polity over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
