Paradigms in Polity: Classic Readings in Reformed and Presbyterian Church Government

Paradigms in Polity: Classic Readings in Reformed and Presbyterian Church Government by Hall, David W.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780802806840.

This unique book provides a comprehensive, chronological anthology of the most essential documents on Presbyterian and Reformed church government, including many out-of-print selections and several new English translations. Beginning with the earliest testimonies to Gods plan for church order and proceeding through the development of Western civilization, the thirty-nine entries in this volume detail the historical foundation of church polity. The editors have compiled a mini-library of the most biblical, the best historical, and the most classical theological articles--all of which help to illumine the important question: How does Scripture speak to the issue of church government?
