Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful critique of the ambition and harmful influence of the clergy within the Church of England. The author draws on historical examples and arguments to illustrate how the clergy's attempts to control appointments to ecclesiastical positions can lead to the suppression of worthy candidates and the advancement of those who are more concerned with personal gain than with serving the church. The book also explores the broader historical context of the relationship between the church and the state, arguing that the clergy's attempts to increase their own power often come at the expense of the monarch's authority. This book is a valuable contribution to the debate on the role of the church in society and offers important insights into the history of the Church of England.
