Albert Barnes / Henry Ustick Onderdonk
''Episcopacy Examined And Re-Examined'' is a book written by Henry Ustick Onderdonk in 1835. The book is a comprehensive examination of the concept of Episcopacy, which is the system of church governance that is practiced by the Episcopal Church. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which is called ''Episcopacy Tested By Scripture.'' In this section, Onderdonk uses biblical passages to argue in favor of the Episcopal system of governance. He also examines the arguments made by opponents of Episcopacy and refutes them using scripture. The second part of the book is called ''The Controversy Concerning That Publication.'' This section is a response to the controversy that arose after the publication of Onderdonk’s earlier tract, ''Episcopacy Tested By Scripture.'' In this section, Onderdonk defends his arguments and addresses the criticisms that were made of his earlier work. Overall, ''Episcopacy Examined And Re-Examined'' is an important work in the history of the Episcopal Church. It provides a detailed examination of the biblical basis for the Episcopal system of governance and responds to the criticisms that were made of that system. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Episcopal Church or in the concept of Episcopacy more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
