Excerpt from An Essay on Church Government T is an obvious truth, that every community mutt have fome government. This afihres us that the Church of Chrifi, the molt important community that was ever ereeted on earth, is not without one. And to imagine that he, whom God has fet as king in Zion, on whofe {boulders the government is laid, and who is faithful as a fon in all his benfe, {hould not have prefcribed to his church any particular form of government, but left it to the difcretion of every religious fociety to frame one for itfelf, is a fuppofition' too extravagant to be fora mo ment admitted. We may.therefore expee'c to find in the writings of the apofiles and prophets, full informa tion refpeeting the government which Chrifi has infli. Tuted in his church. We are not indeed to look for a plan of government in all its parts drawn up in form. We mull collect it, as we do every thing elfe relating to the kingdom of Chrifl, from various parts of the holy fcriptures.

Churches have split and denominations have formed over the issue of church government. While many Christians can explain their church's form of rule or defend it because of its "tried and true" traditions, few people understand their church's administrative customs from a biblical perspective. Who Runs the Church? explores questions such as: What model for governing the church does the Bible provide, and is such a model given for practical or spiritual reasons? Is there room for different methods within Christianity? Or is there a right way of "doing church"? And, finally, how (and by whom) should the church be governed? Four predominant approaches to church government are presented by respected proponents: Episcopalianism - represented by Peter Toon Presbyterianism - represented by L. Roy Taylor Single-Elder Congregationalism - represented by Paige Patterson Plural-Elder Congregationalism - represented by Samuel E. Waldron As in other Counterpoints books, each view is followed by critiques from the other contributors, and its advocate then responds.

The history of Church and government in England and on the continent of Europe between the eleventh and the early fourteenth centuries is the subject of this volume of essays by twelve historians including scholars as well known as C. N. L. Brooke, R. C. van Caenegem, R. Foreville, S. Kuttner and W. Ullmann. Each essay is concerned with a major historical text (such as Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain) or an important type of historical document (such as the writings of a famous civilian, Master Vacarius). The general theme of Church and government in the Middle Ages is illustrated through the eves of different types of officials - among them English royal justices, Norman bishops, and monastic archdeacons - as well of scholars and thinkers who also served the needs of government both lay and ecclesiastical - such as Gratian of Bologna and the hitherto neglected canon lawyer John Baconthorpe.
