| Publisher Description: Now Available . . . the ideas on how the church should be structured by the authors of the Westminster Confession of Faith. This abridgement is released with the express purpose of calling churches and ministers back to a more biblical sense of Church life. All too frequently, fine Christians seek the Lordship of Christ over many areas, all the while ignoring the application of that Lordship over one of the most central and vital areas of Christian living: the shape and structure of the Church. In the providence of God, others have gone before us and-with the same scriptural canon-extracted many of the timeless principles on that subject for us. Of course, some may choose to ignore such earlier studies, or possibly think ourselves wiser. Yet, most Christians desire to benefit from older brothers and sisters in the faith who have preceded us. We are regularly learning the dangers of spiritual isolationism. While revising this, I was struck with the persuasive and pastoral motivation at the heart of this treatise. It was not written as a polemical tract, as if to prop up some moribund tradition; rather it is an exemplar of gentle and reasoned discourse. |
