{"product_id":"baptist-foundations","title":"Baptist Foundations","description":"Ours is an anti-polity age, perhaps more than any other time in the history of the church. Yet polity remains as important now as it was in the New Testament.\n\nWhat then is a right or biblical polity? The contributors to this volume make an exegetical and theological case for a Baptist polity. Right polity, they argue, is congregationalism, elder leadership, diaconal service, regenerate church membership, church discipline, and a Baptist approach to the ordinances.\n\nEach section explores the pastoral applications of these arguments. How do congregationalism and elder leadership work together? When should a church practice church discipline? How can one church work with another in matters of membership and discipline?\n\nTo be read sequentially or used as a reference guide, Baptist Foundations provides a contemporary treatment of Baptist church government and structures, the first of its kind in decades.","brand":"Mark Dever \u0026 Jonathan Leeman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56418797748607,"sku":"9781433681042","price":35.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8883\/6671\/files\/438815_LRG.jpg?v=1763322290","url":"https:\/\/www.aslanchristianbooks.com\/products\/baptist-foundations","provider":"Aslan Christian Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
