Of The Government Of Churches: A Discourse Pointing At The Primitive Form (1841)

Of The Government Of Churches: A Discourse Pointing At The Primitive Form is a book written by Herbert Thorndike in 1841. The book is focused on the structure and organization of churches, particularly the Church of England. Thorndike argues that the Church should be governed by a system that is based on the principles of the early Christian Church. He believes that the Church should be led by bishops who are chosen by the people and that the Church should be independent of the state. He also discusses the role of the laity in the Church and the importance of their participation in the decision-making process. Overall, the book provides a detailed analysis of the structure of the Church and offers insights into how it can be improved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
