The Two Sons of Oil: Or The Faithful Witness for Magistracy and Ministry Upon a Scriptural Basis is a book written by Samuel Brown Wylie and originally published in 1850. The book is a defense of the Presbyterian Church and its form of government, which is based on the Bible. Wylie argues that the Presbyterian system of government, which involves the election of elders and the sharing of power between ministers and laypeople, is the most biblical and effective way to run a church. He also defends the role of the civil magistrate in upholding the law and preserving order in society.The title of the book refers to two Old Testament figures, Zerubbabel and Joshua, who are described as sons of oil in the book of Zechariah. Wylie uses these figures as examples of faithful leaders who served both God and their communities.The book is written in a scholarly style and includes numerous references to the Bible and other theological works. It is considered an important work in the history of Presbyterianism and has been influential in shaping the beliefs and practices of the Presbyterian Church in the United States.With An Essay On Submission To Civil Government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
