The Papal Supremacy And The Provincial System: Tested By The Holy Scriptures And The Canon Law Of The Ancient Church is a book written by William Dexter Wilson in 1889. The book explores the concept of papal supremacy and the provincial system, and examines them in the context of the Holy Scriptures and the canon law of the ancient church. The author argues that the papal supremacy, which is the doctrine that the pope has supreme authority over the entire Christian church, is not supported by the Holy Scriptures or the canon law of the ancient church. Instead, he suggests that the provincial system, which is a system of governance where the church is divided into provinces and each province is governed by a bishop, is a more appropriate model for the church. The book provides a detailed analysis of the historical, theological, and legal aspects of this debate, and presents a compelling argument in favor of the provincial system. Overall, The Papal Supremacy And The Provincial System is a thought-provoking and informative book that will be of interest to anyone interested in the history and governance of the Christian church.With A Plea For Church Unity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
