A Vindication of the Presbyterian Form of Church-Government, As Professed in the Standards of the Church of Scotland

""A Vindication of the Presbyterian Form of Church-Government, as Professed in the Standards of the Church of Scotland"" is a book written by John Brown and published in 1812. The book is a defense of the Presbyterian form of church governance, which emphasizes the importance of church leadership by elders and the participation of the congregation in decision-making. Brown argues that this form of governance is biblically sound and has been historically successful in Scotland. He also addresses criticisms of Presbyterianism, such as accusations of authoritarianism and lack of flexibility. The book is an important historical document for understanding the development of Presbyterianism in Scotland and its influence on Protestantism more broadly.As Professed In The Standards Of The Church Of Scotland, In Reply To The Animadversions Of The Ancient And Modern Independents, In A Series Of Letters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
