Synopsis

Discover how Christ’s perpetual presence grounds the Church as a living, historic institution.

This work argues that the Church is not a recent invention but a timeless, essential part of Christianity, rooted in Christ’s ongoing work through history. It presents the idea that the Church stands as a visible, enduring organism—past, present, and future—through which redemption continues to work in the world. The book frames the Church as the indispensable link in salvation, formed from the accomplish­ments of the Gospel and the life of the Spirit.

Written with a focus on the institutional life of faith, this edition traces how Christian history has shaped a concrete, outward form—a body with offices, officers, and a continuous line from Pentecost to today. It argues that civil and social order, including family and state, grow from, and rely on, the Church’s presence and governance. By presenting a unified view of church and society, it invites readers to see faith as a historical and living reality grounded in Christ’s authority and love.

  • How the Church is described as a living, perpetual presence across generations
  • Why church structure and continuity matter for Christian life
  • How faith connects personal salvation to a historic community
  • What the book says about the relationship between the Gospel and civil society

Ideal for readers of Christian history, church doctrine, and theology that emphasizes the Church’s enduring role in salvation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
