Richard Mather
''Church Government and Church Covenant Discussed'' is a book written by Richard Mather that delves into the topic of church organization and governance. Mather argues that the Bible provides clear guidance on how churches should be structured and operated, and he analyzes various models of church government throughout history to support his claims. He also explores the concept of church covenant, which is a formal agreement between members of a church to uphold certain beliefs and practices. Mather discusses the importance of a strong church covenant in maintaining a healthy and unified congregation. The book provides valuable insights for pastors, church leaders, and anyone interested in the history and theology of church organization.1643.
