An Inquiry Into the Scriptural Form of Church Government. Extr. and Abridged From 'The Apostolic Church'

By Thomas Witherow

First published in 1882, this book offers a detailed study of the form of church government presented in the New Testament. Thomas Witherow, a Presbyterian minister in Ireland, draws on biblical scholarship and historical research to argue that the apostolic church was governed by a system of presbyteries rather than bishops. While Witherow's conclusions are not universally accepted, An Inquiry into the Scriptural Form of Church Government remains an important contribution to the ongoing debate over ecclesiology.
