Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book centers around the legal dispute between Pawtucketâs Free Will Baptist Church and former member Daniel Greene over land ownership of their meetinghouse. The churchâs conflict with Greene brings historical and doctrinal issues within the Free Will Baptist denomination to light. The author, a pastor at the center of the controversy, shares firsthand accounts and supporting documents to detail the theological debates within the church as well as machinations of the churchâs governing elder body, known as the Quarterly Meeting. The writer argues that each individual church ought to govern its own affairs without outside interference, while Greene and his supporters insist on a hierarchy of authority within the denomination according to which the Quarterly Meeting holds sway over individual churches. This book sheds light on debates over ecclesiastical authority and governance in the early 19th-century United States amidst the Second Great Awakening. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
