Canon Law and Episcopal Authority - Christopher W. B. (Head of Southlands College and Director of the Susanna Wesley Foundation Stephens - Bog

This book begins with a close study of the canons of Antioch and proposes a new chronology for their composition. It then works from that conclusion to demonstrate the significance of canon law as a resource for understanding the early Church. Finally, it explores the nature and status of canon law in its early developmental period.
