Aaron's Rod Blossoming: The Divine Ordinance of Church Government Vindicated (Napthali Press Special Editions) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This critical edition of George Gillespie’s most famous work, Aaron’s Rod Blossoming, refutes the error of the Erastians, who argued for church sub- ordination to the civil government. In a day when there is much confusion about the relationship between church and state, Gillespie’s treatise offers a clear, scriptural explanation of the twofold kingdom of Jesus Christ. Ad- ditionally, Gillespie provides one of the most robust treatments of church discipline and its relation to the Lord’s Table of the Post-Reformation era.

About the Authors
George Gillespie (1613-1648) was a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines and, although its youngest member, was respected for his learning, zeal, and sound judgment resulting in his essential assistance to the preparation of the Directory and Confession of Faith. He presented the Confession of Faith to the General Assembly in 1647, obtaining its ratification. In 1648 he was elected moderator of the assembly, but the pressures of the position probably led to his death later that year.
Chris Coldwell has published fine-quality editions of Puritan, Presbyterian, and Reformed literature for over thirty years through Naphtali Press. He is also the general editor and publisher of The Confessional Presbyterian journal.
From the Back Cover
George Gillespie's first book, the anonymously published Dispute against the English Popish Ceremonies, propelled him to the forefront of the Second Reformation of the Scottish Kirk. He was then appointed to be an ecclesiastical commissioner to attend the Westminster Assembly of Divines in London. There he produced his most famous work, Aaron's Rod Blossoming, in order to refute the Erastians, who argued for church subordination to the civil government. Gillespie divides his treatise into three sections: (1) "Of the Jewish Church Government," (2) "Of the Christian Church Government," and (3) "Of Excommunication from the Church, and of Suspension from the Lord's Table."
This new edition was created by comparing the texts of 1646 and 1844. The bibliography contains over six hundred entries, and all references have been traced. An exhaustive index is provided for all the Scripture references and authors cited, and the many Latin quotations have been translated in the notes. With the publication of this title, all of George Gillespie's works now will have appeared in new critical editions."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
