Publisher's Synopsis
The Crozier and the Keys is a companion volume to the Bishops' Blue Book, published in 1895 by John Sanders Reed. This book explores the symbolism and significance of the crozier and the keys, two important symbols of the episcopal office in the Christian church. The crozier, or pastoral staff, represents the bishop's role as shepherd of the flock, while the keys represent the bishop's authority and responsibility to safeguard the teachings and traditions of the church. The book provides historical and theological insights into these symbols, drawing on sources from the Bible, church history, and contemporary theology. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Christian church, and particularly for those interested in the role of bishops and the symbolism of their office.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
