Excerpt from The Principles of Church Polity
IF an apology is to be made for the appearance of these Lectures in the form of a book, it is best that this apology should express frankly the motives for such appearance which lie in the author's mind. It seemed to him in some sense due to the Lectureship which he has filled for three years, that it should add something to the general literature of its theme. Lectures written on paper, whatever they may accomplish as lectures, perish with the using; but the printed volume, whether it have many readers or few, at least for a time remains.
Moreover, the reading done in preparation for this writing has convinced the author that his treatment of the subject has some small claim to a certain originality and freshness of form. This impression has been confirmed by the testimony of a few friends, among whom, however, may be counted one who was not long since a master of the whole subject here treated in such a fragmentary way.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Drawing inspiration from the Apostolic Age, this book is a treatise on the principles of the true church polity, asserting that they are divinely mandated and find unique embodiment in the Congregationalist system. The author argues that these principles are foundational to Christian truth, showing how they shape the development of the ideal church polity, detailed through seven secondary principles that include Christ's exclusive rulership, individual equality, a regenerate membership, local church autonomy, communion of churches, preserving the results of common experience, and progress through individual inquiry. Through historical analysis, the author traces these principles' implementation, along with the challenges faced in their application, within Congregationalist churches. The book concludes by underscoring the continuing relevance of these principles and their importance to the vitality of the Christian faith.
