Publisher's Synopsis
""The Definitions of Faith and Canons of Discipline of the Six Ecumenical Councils: With the Remaining Canons of the Code of the Universal Church"" is a book written by William Andrew Hammond in 1843. The book provides a comprehensive description of the definitions of faith and canons of discipline of the six ecumenical councils, as well as the remaining canons of the code of the universal church. The six ecumenical councils were held between the 4th and 8th centuries and were important events in the history of Christianity. They helped to establish the orthodox beliefs of the church and to resolve theological disputes. The canons of discipline outlined in the book provide guidance on matters such as church governance, the administration of sacraments, and the conduct of clergy. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology, as well as for anyone interested in the history and development of the Christian church.""To Which Are Added, The Apostolical Canons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
