The Irenicum Or Pacificator Being A Reconciler As To Church Differences - Edward Stillingfleet - Bog

Bag om The Irenicum Or Pacificator Being A Reconciler As To Church Differences

The Irenicum or Pacificator is a book written by Edward Stillingfleet, an English bishop, in the 17th century. The book is a treatise on church unity and aims to reconcile the differences between the various Protestant denominations of the time. Stillingfleet argues that the differences between these churches are not significant enough to justify the divisions that exist between them. He proposes a middle ground between the various factions, which he calls the ""Irenic"" position. This position advocates for a broad church that allows for a diversity of beliefs and practices, while still maintaining unity in essentials. The book is divided into four parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of church unity. Part one deals with the nature of the church and the role of the state in religious affairs. Part two examines the different forms of church government and argues for a more flexible approach to church organization. Part three discusses the various theological disputes that have divided the churches and proposes a way to reconcile these differences. Finally, part four looks at the practical implications of the Irenic position and how it can be implemented in practice. The Irenicum or Pacificator is an important work in the history of Christian theology and remains relevant today as a model for promoting unity in the church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
