Synopsis

Open Communion is a pointed, historical critique of how "open" or universal communion trends threaten Scriptural baptism and church membership. This edition argues that concession and non-essentials in these practices undermine the integrity of the Lord’s Supper and the pattern of church fellowship. It surveys denominational shifts, calls for steadfast adherence to baptism as a prerequisite for communion, and warns of a broader move toward a universal church at the expense of truth.

- See how the author links non‑essential concession to loss of doctrinal clarity and church discipline.
- Learn arguments for why immersion believers should be the only ones invited to the Lord’s Table.
- Explore historical examples and responses from Baptists and other groups on the topic of communion.
- Understand the stakes the author attributes to restricting or broadening the practice within Protestant churches.

Ideal for readers of 19th‑century religious polemics, Baptist history, and debates over baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The leading object of the lamented author of this little volume, was to furnish his own denomination with a succinct defence of their practice in restricting the privilege of sacramental communion to such as belong to their own churches. As collateral justification of this practice, he has also here furnished a refutation of the Pedo-baptist view of the questions relating to the subjects and mode of baptism, showing that that view is an innovation on the spirit and teachings of the New Testament. It is but reasonable to believe that had the author himself been permitted to arrange and give the finishing touch to the materials of the work, it would have been, in some respects, at least, more complete and satisfactory. Still, the editor has evidently prepared and arranged the materials in his possession to the best advantage. The discussion on Communion, is a review of the positions and reasonings of Kobert Hall, who held that each particular Church is to tho Universal Church, as a part is to the whole; and, consequently, that no Church has a right to establish terms of communion which are not terms of aalvation. The erroneousness of these positions, and the false reasonings founded upon them, Dr. Waller has successfully exposed. Nothing farther seems necessary tho overthrow is complete, final.
