Product Description
The Church Polity of the Pilgrims: A Sermon (1857) is a religious text written by Joshua Wyman Wellman. The book explores the church structure and governance of the Pilgrims, who were a group of English separatists who fled to America in the early 17th century in search of religious freedom. Wellman's sermon delves into the Pilgrims' beliefs about the role of the church in their lives and the importance of maintaining a strong and unified community. The book also discusses the ways in which the Pilgrims' church polity influenced the development of American democracy and the principles of religious freedom that are enshrined in the United States Constitution. This text is an insightful and informative read for anyone interested in the history of American religion and the role of the church in shaping American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
