Description

""Church Government and Church Covenant Discussed"" is a book written by Richard Mather that delves into the structure and organization of churches. The book explores the concept of church government and the role of the covenant in the church. Mather discusses the different forms of church government, including Presbyterian, Congregational, and Episcopal, and analyzes their strengths and weaknesses. He also examines the importance of the church covenant, which is a voluntary agreement among members to uphold certain principles and beliefs. Mather argues that the covenant is essential for maintaining unity and order within the church. The book provides a historical perspective on church governance and covenant theology, and offers practical advice for churches seeking to establish or improve their own structures. It is a valuable resource for pastors, church leaders, and anyone interested in the history and theology of the Christian church.1643.
