6. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Bishop
an overseer. In apostolic times, it is quite manifest that there
was no difference as to order between bishops and elders or
presbyters (Acts 20:17-28; 1 Pet. 5:1, 2; Phil. 1:1; 1 Tim. 3).
The term bishop is never once used to denote a different office
from that of elder or presbyter. These different names are
simply titles of the same office, "bishop" designating the
function, namely, that of oversight, and "presbyter" the dignity
appertaining to the office. Christ is figuratively called "the
bishop [episcopos] of souls" (1 Pet. 2:25).

7. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
BISHOP. An ecclesiastical officer, who is the chief of the clergy of his
diocese, and is the archbishop's assistant. Happily for this country, these
officers are not recognized by law. They derive all their authority from the
churches over which they preside. Bishop's COURT, Eng. law. An
ecclesiastical court held in the cathedral of each diocese, the judge of
which is the bishop's chancellor.
