Two Lectures Upon the Relations of Civil Law to Church Polity, Discipline, and Property (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Lectures Upon the Relations of Civil Law to Church Polity, Discipline, and Property
In attempting to exhibit before you some of the organized rules of civil or municipal law, I find myself embarrassed by several considerations. One is found in the fact that abstract legal discussions are proverbially dry and uninteresting to those who have not made the law a subject of considerable investigation. Such persons cannot be expected to discover, at once, how far-reaching a single principle may be, what relation it bears to a system wide enough to embrace all human conduct.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the relationship between civil and municipal laws and the multifaceted realms of church polity, discipline, and property in the US. Establishing a historical foundation for religious freedom in the states, the author explores the evolution of this relationship from the strict adherence to ecclesiastical norms in colonial times to the complete divorce of church and state in the present day. The author emphasizes the crucial role of the law in protecting religious organizations' rights to exist, maintain property, and enforce internal regulations, while acknowledging that civil courts generally defer to church authorities' decisions regarding membership, officers, and matters of faith. The analysis extends to legal distinctions between incorporated and unincorporated religious societies, highlighting the legal protections and limitations that apply to each. This book offers valuable insights for religious leaders, legal professionals, and individuals seeking to understand the complex interplay between religious organizations and the law in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330900000_0
