I am pleased to share with our readers that a classic of Presbyterian polity is finally back in print. Originally published in 1858, Stuart Robinson’s The Church of God: An Essential Element of the Gospel has just been reissued with a new cover and typesetting and introduction by Rev. Dr. A. Craig Troxel. The Committee on Christian Education of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church has produced a beautiful edition. Robinson was professor of church government and pastoral theology at Danville Theological Seminary in Kentucky when the book was originally published. Also included in this volume is a fascinating biographical chapter on the author by Thomas Peck. This is must reading for men who aspire to the ministry in Presbyterian circles.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
Whahoo! This is good news indeed. Robinson’s masterpiece, Discourse of Redemption is available on Google Books!
I am really excited about this one. Robinson was an excellent read. This particular book helped me to better understand the relationship between church authority and church officers.
