Covering topics including the organisation of the early church and the conduct of the clergy this is an important source for historians interested in Christian doctrine and law.The twin sisters Agnes Lewis (18431926) and Margaret Gibson (18431920) were pioneering biblical scholars who became experts in a number of ancient languages.
