Description

Presbyterianism: The Truly Primitive and Apostolical Constitution of the Church of Christ is a book written by Samuel Miller, a prominent American Presbyterian theologian and professor in the early 19th century. In the book, Miller argues that Presbyterianism is the most faithful expression of the original apostolic constitution of the Christian Church.Miller begins by tracing the history of the Church from its earliest days, examining the practices and beliefs of the early Christians as recorded in the New Testament. He then goes on to argue that Presbyterianism, with its emphasis on the authority of the Scriptures, the sovereignty of God, and the importance of church discipline, is the most faithful embodiment of these early Christian principles.Throughout the book, Miller addresses various objections to Presbyterianism, including criticisms of its form of church government, its strict adherence to the Westminster Confession of Faith, and its rejection of certain sacramental practices. He also offers practical advice for Presbyterian pastors and laypeople on how to live out their faith in the modern world.Overall, Presbyterianism: The Truly Primitive and Apostolical Constitution of the Church of Christ is a thorough and passionate defense of the Presbyterian tradition, and an important contribution to the ongoing debate over the nature and structure of the Christian Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
