Why Priests? by Garry Wills
A Failed Tradition
This provocative exploration delves into the historical and theological foundations of the Catholic priesthood, questioning its necessity and relevance in modern times. The author examines the evolution of the priestly role from its origins in the early Christian community to its institutionalization within the Church, arguing that many of its functions and powers are not rooted in the teachings of Jesus. Through a critical analysis of scripture and Church history, the book challenges readers to reconsider the traditional understanding of priesthood and its impact on contemporary faith practices.
