Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a primary source collection of historical Swedish ordination services used between 1571 and 1894. These documents provide evidence for the unbroken practice of consecrating bishops and ordaining priests in the Church of Sweden since the Protestant Reformation. By organizing the historical forms of ordination alongside contemporary scholarly commentary, the author delves into themes of priesthood, episcopal election, and the process of confirmation in the Swedish church. Questions raised by Anglican critics for over a century are addressed using primary evidence, with the author concluding that the Swedish Church has continuously maintained both apostolic succession and valid ordination throughout its history.
