A Review of the True Nature of Schisme: With a Vindication of the Congregational Churches in England is a book written by John Owen and published in 1657. The book is a defense of the Congregationalist movement in England, which was a group of Protestant churches that believed in the autonomy of each individual church and rejected the hierarchical structure of the Church of England.In the book, Owen argues that the Congregationalist movement is not a schism, or a split from the established church, but rather a return to the true nature of the church as seen in the New Testament. He defends the Congregationalist belief in the independence of each individual church and the importance of the congregation in decision-making.Owen also addresses criticisms of the Congregationalist movement, such as accusations of anarchy and disorder, and argues that these criticisms are unfounded. He provides examples of successful Congregationalist churches and argues that the movement is a viable alternative to the Church of England.Overall, A Review of the True Nature of Schisme is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious and political climate of 17th century England and the emergence of the Congregationalist movement. It is a valuable resource for scholars of religious history and anyone interested in the history of Protestantism in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
