Excerpt from A Manual of Congregational Principles
AT a time when Christendom is agitated by controversies reaching to the very roots of the Christian Faith, and when all Churches are struggling with practical duties which are beyond their strength, questions of ecclesiastical polity may appear to have no Claim to consideration.

The definitive work on Congregational church government
Dale's book was published at the end of the last century and has yet to be bettered as a defence of the Congregational way of church government. He clearly sets out the biblical basis for church government and counters objections. There is an extensive appendix showing the error of the episcopal systems (rule by bishops).
The book is marred by Dale's view of indiscriminate baptism, which is why the publisher has included an additional appendix showing the historic Congregational view. Also, contact details of evangelical Congregational churches worldwide are provided.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the principles of Congregationalism, a form of Christian church governance that emerged in the early days of the Church. The author examines the historical development of Congregational principles, drawing evidence from the New Testament, the lives of the Apostles, and the experiences of the earliest Christian churches. The book explores the relationship between church organization and the spiritual life of believers, arguing that Congregationalism is not merely a historical curiosity but a form of church polity that reflects the central tenets of the Christian faith. The author examines the role of church officers, the nature of Christian sacraments and worship, and the practical implications of Congregationalism in areas such as church membership and the relationships between different churches.
