9780243303014: The Principles and Government of the Christian Church

Synopsis

This book presents the principles and doctrines of a Christian organization whose roots lie in the evangelical Protestantism of the 18th century. It begins by establishing the concept of a universal Christian brotherhood whose unifying element is shared belief in the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ. The book presents its arguments by examining the nature of the Christian Church, its sacraments, its beliefs about God, and the importance of scripture in the life of the believer. Devoting significant space to the concept of depravity, it stresses the importance of repentance and faith in the redemptive power of God. It concludes by presenting the ideas of Christian baptism and communion as markers and tools of spiritual renewal. The book's primary contribution to its field is its exploration of the nature of Christian identity apart from denominational or sectarian concerns.
