An Experiment that Failed

The Rise of Bishops

From Parish Leaders to Regional Governors

by David W. T. Brattston ...

The Rise of Bishops reveals how Christian congregations, which were self-governing in the second and third centuries, became subject to the general supervision and direction of diocesan bishops and higher officeholders, thus ending their independence from outside the local parish.

Can Sins Be Forgiven after Baptism?

by David W. T. Brattston ...

What are we to make of the Biblical book of Hebrews 6:4-6 and 10:26-27? They teach that "it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves ...

When Was the Day of Public Worship?

by David W. T. Brattston ...

According to Christian sources from before the middle of the third century AD, the ancient evidence is unanimous that, although there were a few slight differences as to how weekends should be observed, one thing is certain and was uncontroversial: the main day of the week for early Christians to gather and worship was not the seventh-day Saturday Sabbath, but Sunday, which they sometimes called ...
