Sinopsis
Explore how early church governance was formed and how it works today. This edition surveys competing views on church constitution, order, and government, clarifying how congregational and universal church structures relate to one another. It examines the authority of elders, pastors, and teachers and why their roles matter for worship, discipline, and unity within the body of Christ.
The book presents a careful, point-by-point analysis of different traditions. It contrasts congregational independence with broader church unity, and it explains how authority is exercised in practice—not just in theory. You’ll find practical arguments about how churches organize, govern, and address disputes while remaining faithful to biblical principles.
- Clear explanations of key terms and models of church government
- Arguments about the scope and limits of elder and pastor authority
- Discussion of how synods, councils, and congregations relate to one another
- Historical context for debates that shape church life today
Ideal for readers of historical theology and church history who want a grounded overview of governance, structure, and responsibility in the churches of Christ.

Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Goodwin, D.D, Vol. 11: Containing the Constitution, Right Order, and Government of the Churches of Christ, &C
Book IV. - The claims of the Presbyterian government considered and refuted - That the church universal is not a church poli tical, and the seat of government. - That the institution for worship and government falleth not upon the saints in a nation, as a nation or kingdom, to be the seat of it. - That an argument cannot be urged for a national church government, from the instance of the Jewish pattern. - That a standing presbytery is not to be set up to exercise power and juris diction over particular congregations.
