How were bishops first chosen, and what does that reveal about the very nature of the Church? In this incisive christian theology treatise, James Dundass returns to the controversies of the early Christian church to defend episcopal elections against a formidable contemporary critic. These questions still matter today. Written amid the intense debates of seventeenth century theology, his Supplement to The View of the Elections of Bishops in the Primitive Church answers objections raised in An Essay on the Nature of the Church and re-examines primitive church governance with painstaking care. Both historical and polemical, this church history classic stands at the crossroads of Anglican ecclesiastical history and Reformed church polity, illuminating how early church leadership was understood, contested, and codified. As a primary source edition, it offers seminary students a vivid window into post-Reformation argument, while serving as a reliable reference for theologians, historians of doctrine, and thoughtful lay readers drawn to the structures that shaped Christian communities. Dundass engages Scripture, tradition, and reason in a manner that still speaks to current discussions over authority, continuity, and the election of bishops. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Carefully presented for modern readers, this heritage volume preserves the voice of a pivotal moment in early church scholarship and invites both casual readers and classic-literature collectors to encounter it afresh.
