Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Congregationalism The Congregational system has now stood the tests and trials of more than three centuries, and the world has been made to share the benefits of the fruit it has borne. The more its adherents learn of its origin, history and work, the greater will they prize its precious and apostolic principles. Should this volume contribute to such an object the author will consider it a rich reward. The writer and compiler of this book does not lay special claim to originality, for the facts set forth are gathered from many sources. It is manifestly impossible to give due credit to each historian and writer on these themes, therefore a general and grateful acknowledgment is made of most valuable aid derived from them all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pocket Manual of Congregationalism Our peace was disturbed also by another change, the separation of church and state in New England. The Cambridge Platform, 1648, rested its discipline ultimately on the coercive power of the magistrate, as its last chapter shows; and to that power there were sad but frequent appeals. This very citadel soon crumbled into ruins, but no other defence was erected in its place, except in Connecticut (see my article in the New Englander, 1883, 461-491, on Some Neglected Factors in Congregational Fellowship. And so con fusion arose. We tried to make occasional councils conserve purity where our fathers relied on the coercive power of the magistrate. The attempt was. Not a complete success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Congregationalism The scope of this little book on "Congregationalism" has been, necessarily, limited by the purpose of the series to which it belongs. It does not pretend to be a history of Congregationalism, and the writer makes no claim to originality of treatment; there has been no attempt to consult original documents. The publishers, in this series on "Varieties of the Christian Faith," aim at presenting a brief account of each particular "variety" in such a form as shall appeal to the general reader who desires to inform himself of the main principles and historical setting, of the origin and development of the various sections into which the Christian Church is at present divided, with some indication of the place which each fills in modern life, its achievements in the past, and its outlook for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Congregationalism While the first lines of Historical Congregationalism date from recent centuries, we claim that its principles are as old as Chris tianity; nay, more, that it is the ancient Theocracy. With a divinely modified administration. As Congregationalists, we believe, not only in the supreme authority of God's Word, but also in its completeness as a divine revelation and find in it our only rule of faith, and also the constitution and laws of the Church of Christ, which in our view becomes' a church of churches. It was only by a study of the Sacred Word, that saintly and learned men, in various places and at different times, learned those principles which good seed, planted by the Holy Spirit in human hearts, has raised up a noble army of confessors, heroes and martyrs, and has girdled the world with their churches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Congregationalism: From About A. D. 250 to 1616 This volume contains the history of Congregationalism from about A. D. 250 to 1616. Much of it, consequently, is occupied with the history of the principles and doctrines now embraced by the denomination, rather than by the his tory of Congregationalists themselves. Though as a de nomination, we had no distinctive, organized existence um til near the close of the sixteenth century yet, inasmuch as some of our denominational peculiarities have always found advocates and friends, since the days of the apostles, - a very imperfect notion could be formed of our history, if these facts were entirely overlooked. But, in order to bring them out, it has been necessary to travel over a very extensive field of observation, and to introduce more of gen eral history than, at first thought, may seem strictly proper in a denominational work. The sources whence this history has been drawn, will sufficiently appear by reference to the margin. Original authorities have been appealed to whenever they have been within my reach and when they have not, the defect has been, in part at least, supplied, by comparing several second-hand authorities, and when it was possible, men of different views and habits of thought.

Download or read book The Creeds and Platforms of Congregationalism Classic Reprint written by Williston Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creeds and Platforms of Congregationalism Congregationalism has always accorded large liberty to local churches in their interpretation of doctrine and polity. Its creeds are not exclusively binding, and its platforms have always been held to be open to revision. They have been witnesses to the faith and practice of the churches rather than tests for subscription. But by reason of this liberty a collection of Congregational creeds and platforms illustrates the history of the body whose expressions they are better than if those symbols were less readily amended. The points wherein they agree may therefore confidently be believed to set forth that which is abiding in the faith and practice of the churches, while the features of change and the traces of discussion of more temporary importance which these creeds and platforms exhibit illustrate as clearly that which is mutable in our ecclesiastical life. It is because the writer deems such a collection of prime value in illuminating the history of Congregationalism that this compilation has been made. This volume has grown out of the experiences of the classroom. In his endeavors to teach the story of Congregationalism the writer has been hindered at all points by the inaccessibility of much of the material which must be before the student or the minister if a knowledge of denominational history is to be more than second hand. He has therefore collected the most important Congregational creeds and platforms, and has illustrated them as far as he is able by such historic notes and comments as may serve to make the circumstances of their composition and their meaning plain.
