The Church Kingdom: Lectures on Congregationalism is a book written by Abel Hastings Ross and originally published in 1887. The book is a collection of lectures on the topic of Congregationalism, a form of church governance that emphasizes the autonomy of individual congregations. Ross, a Congregationalist minister and theologian, explores the history, principles, and practices of Congregationalism in these lectures. He argues that the Congregationalist model of church governance is based on the principles of democracy and individual freedom, and that it is the most biblical and effective way of organizing Christian communities.The book is divided into nine lectures, each covering a different aspect of Congregationalism. Ross begins by tracing the history of Congregationalism from its roots in the early Christian church to its development in England and America. He then examines the biblical basis for Congregationalism, arguing that it is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the early apostles.Ross also discusses the practical aspects of Congregationalism, such as the role of pastors and deacons, the importance of church discipline, and the relationship between individual congregations and larger denominational bodies. Throughout the book, Ross emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and responsibility in the life of the church.Overall, The Church Kingdom: Lectures on Congregationalism is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of this important form of church governance. Ross's clear and thoughtful writing makes it an accessible and engaging read for anyone interested in the history and theology of Congregationalism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
