Priests Of My People: Levitical Paradigms For Early Christian Ministers (Patristic Studies)

This book offers an innovative examination of the question: why did early Christians begin calling their ministerial leaders ?riests? This study helpfully broadens our understanding of the emergence of a Christian priesthood beyond pagan imitation or narrow focus on the sacrificial nature of the Eucharist, and offers a more comprehensive explanation in connection with early Christian ecclesiology.
