The Government of the Kingdom examines how church government was meant to work, from biblical principles to how it has been applied in history.
This prize essay argues for Presbyterian structure as grounded in Scripture and shaped by centuries of church life.
James Moir Porteous surveys the major questions about church governance, contrasts Presbyterian and episcopal systems, and discusses the roles of pastors, elders, and deacons. The work, written for students and church members, aims to clarify why Presbyterians value a balanced, representative leadership built on humility and scriptural authority.
Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and those exploring Presbyterian perspectives on governance and church life.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the biblical foundation for Presbyterian church government. Analyzing Scripture passages in their context, the author deduces essential principles and discusses how they compare with modern practices. The author traces the evolution of early church government and examines the scriptural basis for officers, ordination, and administration within the church. Challenging common assumptions about the separation of church and state and the role of women in church leadership, the book offers a fresh perspective on the scriptural principles of church organization and governance. By contrasting the Presbyterian model with other forms of church government, the author provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of this system's biblical roots and its relevance in contemporary Christian practice.
