Excerpt from Orthodox Congregationalism and the Sects
So very recondite, as to be eliminated only by the most Scholarly investigation. That polity, what ever it is, must be expected to lie upon the sur face of the record, inasmuch as it was designed for universal use. It is a fact admitted by all, that the polity indicated by the sacred writers, is nowhere in the New Testament elaborated into a system. There is no professed treatise on the subject. All that is said about it is isolated and fragmentary; nothing structural and complete. These scattered indications must then be brought together, and interpreted by the soundest canons of exegesis, by the Obvious intent of a church polity, and by its adaptation to society in its various stages of culture and under all forms of civil government, and to the great work of Spread ing the Gospel over the earth.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book passionately advocates for Congregationalism and provides a comparative study of its tenets and those of other Christian denominations at the time. The author posits that of all Christian sects, Orthodox Congregationalism most resembles the structure and thought of early Christianity. This work sets out to explain the foundation of Congregationalism's polity and practice in terms of religious freedom, self -governance, the importance of personal piety, and the centrality of Scripture as theological authority. In doing so, the author explores how Congregationalism spread in England and the United States, challenged the authority of the established church, and contributed to the growth of democracy and the development of thriving communities. The author concludes by asserting that Congregationalism is indeed the freest, most equitable, and most effective polity in which to practice the Christian faith.
