The Bishop's Epistle (2016) & (2017 )is a collection of essays written by Bishop Jerry L Hayes for his blog by the same title for the years of 2016 and 2017. The essays are not cataloged according to subject but appear in the order in which they were written, and reflect the topics that occupied the Bishop's thoughts at the time. Many of the essays were researched and written at the behest of pastors and Bible teachers from around the world as they sought Bishop Hayes' help on theological matters.
