Intro; Title Page; Foreword; Preface; Chapter 1: What Is Church Government?; Chapter 2: Key Terms and Polity Models; Chapter 3: Theological Considerations for Polity Models; Chapter 4: Theological Considerations for Polity Models (Continued); Chapter 5: Multiple-Elder Congregationalism; Chapter 6: Addressing Objections and Providing Practical Recommendations; Appendix; Bibliography
Summary: Just as the government structure of Russia differs from that of the United States, and both differ from that of Great Britain, so it is with church government. Yet, as the institution governed by God's written word, the church must find and defend its governing structures using that word--the Bible. In this book, Dr. Simon Goncharenko argues that it is, in fact, possible to identify a specific preferred model of church polity within the Bible and to model our current church structure after Scriptural precedent.
