Synopsis

This critical edition of George Gillespie’s most famous work, Aaron’s Rod Blossoming, refutes the error of the Erastians, who argued for church sub- ordination to the civil government. In a day when there is much confusion about the relationship between church and state, Gillespie’s treatise offers a clear, scriptural explanation of the twofold kingdom of Jesus Christ. Ad- ditionally, Gillespie provides one of the most robust treatments of church discipline and its relation to the Lord’s Table of the Post-Reformation era.

À propos des auteurs

George Gillespie (1613-1648) was a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines and, although its youngest member, was respected for his learning, zeal, and sound judgment resulting in his essential assistance to the preparation of the Directory and Confession of Faith. He presented the Confession of Faith to the General Assembly in 1647, obtaining its ratification. In 1648 he was elected moderator of the assembly, but the pressures of the position probably led to his death later that year.
