A clear window into the religious principles of the Associate Synod of North America.
This edition collects the printed papers that display the group’s religious profession and its historical context. It presents the Preface, a Narrative, a Declaration and Testimony, and an Appendix with forms used in church life. The language is practical and focused on plainness and fidelity to scripture, rather than ornate rhetoric.

It covers the duty to testify for the gospel, the nature of redemption, and the way the church has viewed its witness through generations. This volume illuminates how early American congregations organized their governance and expressed their faith in concrete terms.
