Publisher's Synopsis
The Searchlight of St. Hippolytus is a book written by Parke Poindexter Flournoy in 1896. The book explores the relationship between the Papacy and the New Testament in the light of recent discoveries. The author uses the writings of St. Hippolytus, a third-century Christian theologian, to shed light on the early history of the Papacy and its relationship with the New Testament. Flournoy argues that the Papacy was not a dominant force in the early church and that its authority was not derived from the New Testament. He also suggests that the New Testament was not written with the intention of establishing a hierarchical church structure. The book is a scholarly work that provides a detailed analysis of the historical and theological context of the Papacy and the New Testament. It is an important contribution to the study of early Christianity and the development of church doctrine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
