Priesthood and Clergy, Unknown to Christianity: Or The Church a Community of Co-Equal Brethren is a book written by George Bush in 1857. The book argues against the traditional view of the Christian Church as a hierarchical institution with a separate priesthood and laity. Instead, Bush asserts that the true nature of the Church is a community of equal members, all of whom have direct access to God and the ability to minister to one another. Bush draws on historical and biblical evidence to support his argument, citing examples of early Christian communities that operated without a formal priesthood or clergy. He also critiques the Catholic and Protestant Churches for their reliance on hierarchical structures and the concept of a separate priesthood. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing an overview of the traditional view of the Church and the second and third parts presenting Bush's alternative vision of the Church as a community of co-equal brethren. Overall, Priesthood and Clergy, Unknown to Christianity is a significant work in the history of Christian theology, challenging long-held beliefs about the nature of the Church and advocating for a more egalitarian and democratic model of Christian community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
