A Review of the True Nature of Schisme: With a Vindication of the Congregational Churches in England is a book written by John Owen in 1657. The book is a defense of the Congregationalist form of church government against the criticisms of Presbyterianism. In the book, Owen argues that the Congregationalist model, which emphasizes the autonomy of individual churches and their ability to govern themselves independently, is the most biblical and faithful model of church government. He critiques the Presbyterian model, which places more authority in a hierarchy of leaders, as being prone to corruption and abuse of power. Owen also addresses the issue of schism, or the splitting of churches and denominations, and argues that true schism occurs when a group departs from the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. He defends the Congregationalist churches in England against charges of schism, arguing that they have remained faithful to the core tenets of Christianity despite their differences with other denominations. Overall, A Review of the True Nature of Schisme is a significant work in the history of Congregationalism and an important contribution to the ongoing debates about church government and unity within the Christian church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
