Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Government and Church Questions "What was not in the times of the Apostles cannot be deduced from them. We say in Scotland, 'It cannot be brought but that is not in the ben;' but (not to insist on a liturgy, and things of that kind) there was no such hierarchy, no such difference betwixt a Bishop and a Presbyter in the times of the Apostles, and therefore it cannot hence be deduced; for I conceive it to be as clear as if it were written with a sunbeam, that Presbyter and Bishop are to the Apostles one and the same thing; no majority, no inequality or difference of office, power, or degree betwixt the one and the other, but a mere identity in all." "Notwithstanding all that is pretended from antiquity, a Bishop having sole power of ordination and jurisdiction will never be found in prime antiquity." - Alexander Henderson's Correspondence with Charles I. Letters of date 3d June 1646, and 17th June 1646. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Framework of the Church written by W. D. Killen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Framework of the Church: A Treatise on Church Government The present volume treats of a subject which has been a bone of controversy for ages. It is very far from the design of the author to revive, much less to aggravate, the bitterness which the discussion has awakened; but, as the scriptural constitution of the Church has occupied much of his atten tion for at least half a century, he is desirous to communicate to others his matured convictions on the questions in dispute. He cannot expect that all his readers will adopt his con elusions; and yet he trusts that a calm review of the Whole debate will tend to remove prejudices and misunderstandings, to diffuse light, and eventually to open the way for the cultivation of kindlier feelings and closer fellowship among the children of God. Amidst the din of theological warfare there may be found in good men, all over the Church, a yearning desire for unanimity and peace; and should this publication do nothing more than help to remove some of the causes by which real Christians are now separated, it will not have been written in vain. It is clear that, until the different sections of the visible Church are more nearly agreed respecting the framework of the house of God as delineated in the New Testament, they are not prepared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Government: A Treatise God's word is my text-book, and its lines referred to are quoted, for the most part, in full on these pages to save the reader time and trouble in pondering citations.i Certain words and phrases must be capital in such a book as this; they are used as keys continually to indicate the scope, design and distinctive nature of such a work. These are, in this case, representation, organization, private judgment, spiritual des potism, and the like. So, also, there must be some repetition of idea in the application of the same thought to another side of the main subject or a subsequent step in the same movement. Yet redundancy in this way will hardly be Observed when the reader's mind is fairly occupied with the consecutive drift of an argument.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and Its Polity In the meantime, the Rev. William Durant, of Albany, N. Y., an intelligent and enthusiastic pupil of my father, was struck with the vast amount of valuable discussion of Church principles and their practical applications, contained in these articles. He believed that if selections from these discussions were judiciously made and systemati cally grouped, a work of great value might be offered to the ministry, and to those intelligent laymen who are interested in the administration of ecclesiastical affairs. He consequently accomplished this work with the cordial approval of my father. After its completion, at the request of Mr. Durant, I subjected his work to a general review, and have now entire confidence in thus publicly testifying to my conviction that in the selection and arrangement of extracts, the reader of this work will have a fair, and, as far as the circumstances admit, an adequate exposition of my father's views, expressed in his own language, on all the subjects set forth in the table of contents. This table of contents itself discloses the wide range and the thorough analysis embraced in these discussions; and hence the very considerable contribution made in this volume to the elucidation of the subject set forth on its title page.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cross-Bench Views of Current Church Questions The two lectures on Dissent in England were originally delivered in the Chapel of S. Mary's Hospital, Ilford. They were printed for private circulation among the members of the Chapel congregation and other personal friends, and have been so very kindly received that it seemed worth while to give them a wider publicity. I have to thank Mr. John Murray for his kindness in permitting me to reprint from the Quarterly Review an article on Bishop French; Mr. L. J. Maxse, for similar permission with respect to articles on The British Sunday, Foreign Missions, The Confessional in the English Church, and The Mivart Episode, which appeared in the National Review during the years 1897 - 1900; to Mr. Percy W. Bunting, for allowing me to include in this volume the article, Our unhappy Divisions, which appeared in the Contemporary Review in December 1901, and has been the subject of much comment and criticism. The papers on Church Reform and The Chinese Puzzle of Missions, and the two Essays on The Influence of Critical Theory on the Interpretation and Authority of Holy Scripture and The History of the Pastoral Ideal in the English Church since the Reformation, have not been pre viously published. As an appendix to the last-named essay, I added the paper on Sermons, read to the Brighton Church Congress.
