Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a powerful critique of the practice of patronage, or the right of private individuals to appoint ministers to ecclesiastical positions, within the Presbyterian church. The author argues that patronage is a form of tyranny that subverts Christ's authority, deprives the people of their natural rights, and is inimical to the true nature of the church. The author provides a comprehensive historical and theological overview of patronage, tracing its origins to the Roman Catholic Church and its subsequent adoption by the Presbyterian church. The author also discusses the negative effects of patronage on the church, arguing that it has led to the appointment of unqualified and immoral ministers, the suppression of dissent, and the division of congregations. The author concludes by calling for the abolition of patronage and the restoration of the people's right to choose their own ministers. The author argues that this is not only a matter of justice and equity, but also essential for the health and vitality of the church.
