eBook: The Apostolic Authority of the Twelve

Digital download only – Not available in printed form.

The Apostolic Authority of the Twelve, is a 10-page booklet, written by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam.

In this booklet, Pastor C. R. Stam examines Christ’s authority given to the twelve apostles and its relationship to the kingdom program, Peter’s leadership, the question of apostolic succession, and addresses Catholic and Protestant interpretations of passages concerning binding, loosing, and the remission of sins. Pastor Stam contrasts the ministry and authority of the Twelve with the distinctive apostleship and message of Paul, showing that the Twelve were commissioned for Israel and the prophetic kingdom program, while Paul was uniquely commissioned to bring the gospel of grace to the Gentiles following Israel’s rejection of Christ. This booklet addresses Catholic and Protestant interpretations of passages concerning binding, loosing, and the remission of sins.
