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.
