A Vindication Of The Presbyterian Form Of Church-Government, As Professed In The Standards Of The Church Of Scotland (1812)

''A Vindication of the Presbyterian Form of Church-Government, as Professed in the Standards of the Church of Scotland'' is a book written by John Brown in 1812. The book provides a comprehensive defense of the Presbyterian system of church governance, which is based on the principles of representative democracy and the separation of powers. Brown argues that this system is the most biblical and effective way of organizing a church, and that it allows for the fullest expression of individual freedom and responsibility. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Presbyterian system, such as the role of the clergy, the importance of church discipline, and the relationship between church and state. Throughout the book, Brown draws on a wide range of historical and theological sources to support his arguments, and he engages with the criticisms of rival systems of church governance. Overall, ''A Vindication of the Presbyterian Form of Church-Government'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Presbyterian Church, as well as for those seeking to understand the principles of representative democracy and the separation of powers more broadly.As Professed In The Standards Of The Church Of Scotland, In Reply To The Animadversions Of The Ancient And Modern Independents, In A Series Of Letters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
