Abstract

The author in this article describes what appropriate requirements a candidate for bishop in the early church should have. These requirements are defined in Holy Scripture in the catalogue of behaviour and also derived from the writings of the early church writers and the decisions of some councils. The author divided the requirements of a candidate for bishop into those derived from ius divinum, ius positivum, ius non scriptum, human, spiritual, intellectual, pastoral, and requirements sentire cum Ecclesia.
