Perspectives on Church Government presents in counterpoint form the basic models of church government which have developed over the course of church history with a view toward determining which is most faithful to Scripture. Each chapter will be written by a prominent person from within each tradition—with specific guidelines dealing with the biblical; historical; and theological issues within each governance tradition. In addition; each writer will have the opportunity to give a brief response to the other traditions.

When the polls showed a probable loss by Brownback; he put on a big show of connecting himself to voters who vote with their emotions and not their brains - abortion and gay marriage. Senior citizens and teachers and those who pay attention to all the issues at stake should have defeated him anyway; but the appeal to those who are "one issue voters" carried the day.Before his term ends; since the legislature is under his control; it will be more difficult to get rid ofthose like him who will follow. I recommend that everyone who cares about the direction our republican form of government is headed read this book.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
