National Church Establishments: Examined (1839)

""National Church Establishments: Examined"" is a book written by Ralph Wardlaw in 1839. The book is a critical examination of the concept of a national church establishment, which refers to the government's official recognition and support of a particular religion. Wardlaw argues against the idea of a national church establishment, stating that it goes against the principles of religious freedom and individual conscience. He also critiques the Church of England, which was the established church in England at the time, for its lack of spiritual vitality and its tendency to prioritize political power over spiritual growth. Wardlaw's book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of religion in government and society, and it remains relevant today as the issue of church-state relations continues to be a contentious topic in many countries around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
