At once constitutional document and spiritual handbook, this defining statement of Presbyterian church polity shaped generations of American faith and public life. These pages shaped a nation. Bringing together the authorised Form of Government, the standards of Discipline, and the Directory for Worship of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, it presents the full presbyterian book of order as adopted and amended between 1821 and 1885. Here the principles of presbyterian form of government find concrete expression in church governance and discipline; rules for elders, ministers and courts sit alongside a reformed worship directory that orders prayer, sacraments and pastoral care according to classic reformed liturgy and worship, and a church discipline manual for life together. For seminary and theology students, pastors and elders in training, and readers engaged in Westminster Confession study, it offers a precise window into 19th century presbyterianism and the practice of American Presbyterian history from within. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Carefully reproduced from the historic text, it speaks both to serious students of church discipline manuals and to collectors who prize enduring works of ecclesiastical heritage, preserving a pivotal moment in the ordered life of the Presbyterian Church.
