Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book continues and concludes a three-part defense of the ecclesiology of English nonconformity from the 17th century to the present day. Its principal objective is to demonstrate the validity of the ordination and ministry of ejected and nonconformist ministers. The author ranges across three centuries to place nonconformist ministry within the historical contexts of the reigns of Charles II, George III and Victoria, as well as the religious controversies of the Edwardian Reformation, the English Civil Wars, and the Oxford Movement. The book's central argument is that there is a continuity in the arguments for nonconformist ministry, from the early Puritans to the present day. The defense of nonconformist ordination has always been rooted in their belief in the Bible as the sole rule of faith and practice, and their understanding of the nature of the visible church. The themes of the book are developed through a sustained historical narrative that analyzes the arguments of major figures such as Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, Edmund Calamy, John Owen, Philip Doddridge, and C.H. Spurgeon. The book demonstrates that there has never been a single, monolithic nonconformist ecclesiology, but rather a diversity of theological and ecclesial positions within a shared common framework. This framework provided the basis for the nonconformist critique of the perceived deficiencies of the Church of England's ministry, and their own claims to being the true church. This book is a major contribution to the study of ecclesiastical history and polity. It is a well-researched and compelling defense of nonconformist ministry, shedding light on a tradition that has often been marginalized in the historiography of Christianity.
