Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays selected here for translation derive largely from Thomasius's work on Staatskirchenrecht, or the political jurisprudence of church law. These works, originating as disputations, theses, and pamphlets, were direct interventions in the unresolved issue of the political role of religion in Brandenburg-Prussia, a state in which a Calvinist dynasty ruled over a largely Lutheran population and nobility as well as a significant Catholic minority. In mandating limited religious toleration within the German states, the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia (1648) also provided the rulers of Brandenburg-Prussia with a way of keeping the powerful Lutheran church in check by guaranteeing a degree of religious freedom to non-Lutherans and thereby detaching the state from the most powerful territorial church. Thomasius's writings on church-state relations, many of them critical of the civil claims made by Lutheran theologians, are a direct response to this state of affairs. At the same time, owing to the depth of intellectual resources at his disposal, these works constitute a major contribution to the broader discussion of the relation between the religious and political spheres.

This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CONCERN: A Pamphlet Series for Questions of Christian Renewal was born in the 1950s of shared concerns over a gap between an Anabaptist vision and contemporary, North American Mennonite reality. The initial group views the increasingly hierarchical denominational structure, the emergence of centralized, professionalized, pastoral ministry, and the resultant changes in polity and practice as fundamentally incompatible with a Believers’ Church ecclesiology. Essays here present that critique and discussion of the reconfiguration of pastoral and communal authority, as well as the assertion that reclamation of a disciplined priesthood of all believers is the path of Christian renewal. Today the question of what institutional forms best structure the leadership, authority, and shared life of congregations persists, marked by particular concern to attend to the exercise of power within actual communities of faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Church Government T is an obvious truth, that every community mutt have fome government. This afihres us that the Church of Chrifi, the molt important community that was ever ereeted on earth, is not without one. And to imagine that he, whom God has fet as king in Zion, on whofe {boulders the government is laid, and who is faithful as a fon in all his benfe, {hould not have prefcribed to his church any particular form of government, but left it to the difcretion of every religious fociety to frame one for itfelf, is a fuppofition' too extravagant to be fora mo ment admitted. We may.therefore expee'c to find in the writings of the apofiles and prophets, full informa tion refpeeting the government which Chrifi has infli. Tuted in his church. We are not indeed to look for a plan of government in all its parts drawn up in form. We mull collect it, as we do every thing elfe relating to the kingdom of Chrifl, from various parts of the holy fcriptures.
