Presbyterianism

In the introduction to Presbyterianism, John Macpherson explains the various forms of church polity, the distinctive principles of Presbyterianism, the divine right of Presbytery, and the literature of Presbyterianism. The book is then divided into two parts: “Office and Office-Bearers in the Presbyterian Church,” where Macpherson defines the roles of elders, teachers, and deacons; and “Constitution and Gradation of Courts in the Presbyterian Church,” in which the functions of the several church courts are examined.
