Explore the debate over who may ordain pastors and how church leadership should be structured.

This 1762 discourse defends New England’s practice of ordination by presbyters and argues against a universal, divine right of episcopal control. It invites readers to consider how early church practice and Scriptural interpretation shaped colonial religious life.

Chauncy presents a measured argument about the source of ministerial authority, the proper role of ordination, and the relationship between church offices. He weighs historical precedent, biblical guidance, and the authority of congregations in choosing their pastors, offering a window into 18th‑century theological debate in New England.

Definitions of key terms and roles in church leadership
Arguments about how ordination should be exercised and who may ordain
Historical discussion of bishops, presbyters, and early church practice

Ideal for readers of religious history and early American church politics who want a clear look at how Presbyterians framed ordination and church governance in a colonial context.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the debate over the validity of Presbyterian ordination in the 18th century. The author argues that ordination by presbyters is valid and in accordance with the New Testament. Presbyterian ordination, the author claims, does not require the involvement of a bishop. Ordaining ministers with the laying on of hands by presbyters, according to the author, is a valid form of ordination. This method of ordination, the author argues, is equally valid to ordination by a bishop, and is also consistent with early Christian practices. This book will be of interest to religious scholars and historians interested in the history of Christianity and the development of church practices.
