By What Authority? (1904)

Beschreibung

By What Authority? is a book written by Robert Hugh Benson and published in 1904. It is a theological work that explores the question of authority in the Christian church. Benson argues that the authority of the church is derived from Christ himself, and that this authority is necessary for the preservation of the faith. He examines the various claims to authority made by different Christian denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, and the Orthodox Church. Benson also discusses the role of tradition in the church, and the importance of the sacraments in maintaining the spiritual life of the faithful. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and is intended for a general audience interested in the history and theology of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Robert Hugh Benson was an English Catholic priest and author who lived from 18 November 1871 to 19 October 1914. He began his ministry as an Anglican priest before being welcomed and ordained in the Catholic Church in 1903. He also wrote a lot of fiction, including Come Rack! Come to Rope! and the well-known dystopian novel Lord of the World. His works include current fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional writings, and historical, horror, and science fiction. In parallel with rising through the ranks to serve as a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911 and earning the title of Monsignor before passing away a few years later, he continued his writing career. Benson, the younger brother of E. F., A. C., and Margaret Benson, was the youngest child of Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his wife, Mary. Robert Hugh Benson attended Eton College for his education before attending Trinity College in Cambridge from 1890 to 1893 to study classics and religion. Benson's father, who was the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, gave him his ordination as a priest in the Church of England in 1895.
