Excerpt from Standard Essays on State-Churches
It is hoped that the friends of the Free Churches will give to this work such a circulation as will justify its issue. They will find in it the foundation principles of their existence laid down with unsurpassed power of reasoning and felicity of illustration. They will find in it an armoury of weapons wherewith the most able and plausible defences of Church Establishments may be successfully assailed. Most of the writers are now dead. Their works were of eminent service to their own generation, and, as now re published, will, it is believed, be of still greater service to those who have inherited the fruit of their labours.
It may be desirable to state that any of these Essays can be had separately.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that establishing Christianity as the state religion contradicts the principles of the original Christian faith. The author, Ralph Wardlaw, draws from the New Testament to show that Jesus envisioned his kingdom as separate from those of this world, with its own means of support and propagation. Wardlaw shows that state establishments are not only unscriptural but also harmful to the spiritual character of the church. He argues that the principle of spontaneous liberality, not compulsory assessment, should govern the support of the Christian ministry. Wardlaw's thorough analysis and persuasive arguments challenge the validity of state-sponsored religion, offering insights that remain significant for understanding the nature and mission of the church today.
