Two Treatises On The Church (1843)

""Two Treatises On The Church"" is a book written by Thomas Jackson and published in 1843. The book is divided into two treatises, each dealing with different aspects of the Church. The first treatise focuses on the nature and authority of the Church, discussing the different views on what constitutes the Church and how it should be governed. Jackson argues that the Church is a spiritual body, with Christ as its head, and that it should be governed by bishops who are accountable to God and the Church. The second treatise deals with the sacraments of the Church, specifically baptism and the Lord's Supper. Jackson examines the different views on these sacraments, including their nature, purpose, and efficacy. He argues that baptism is necessary for salvation, and that the Lord's Supper is a commemoration of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Throughout the book, Jackson draws on historical and theological sources to support his arguments, and engages with the views of other theologians and scholars. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and lay readers interested in the history and theology of the Church.To Which Is Added A Letter Of Bishop Cosin, On The Validity Of The Orders Of The Foreign Reformed Churches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
