The Divine Right Of Church Government: Wherein It Is Proved, By Fair And Conclusive Arguments, That The Presbyterian Government, By Preaching And ... May Lay The Only Lawful Claim To A Divi

This influential work by 17th century theologian John Owen provides a robust defense of Presbyterian church government against the arguments of Episcopalians and Independents. Owen argues that the Presbyterian system, with its emphasis on the role of preaching and ruling elders, is the only system that has a biblical foundation and legitimate claim to authority.
