Synopsis

An Attempt Towards A Statement Of The Doctrine Of Scripture: On Some Disputed Points Respecting The Constitution, Government, Worship And Discipline Of The Church Of Christ by Greville Ewing. Greville Ewing offers a detailed treatise on the organization and governance of Christian churches, distinguishing between what is fixed by explicit revelation and what arises from human inference. He argues against a tyrannical “tyranny of opinion” within churches and stresses liberty, mutual forbearance, and unity among believers, while maintaining the authority of Scripture. The work surveys the gifts and offices of the primitive churches—prophets, teachers, elders, bishops, and deacons—and discusses how miraculous gifts operated, ceased, and should be approached after revelation was completed. It advocates prudent ministerial education, the education of ministers through ordinary means, and the establishment of a scripturally grounded church order. It also addresses worship, the Lord’s Supper, baptism, church discipline, and the relations among churches, promoting unity and cautions against ungrounded ecclesiastical innovations. The volume ultimately urges discernment, moderation, and fidelity to biblical principles in church life.
