Lectures On The Establishment And Extension Of National Churches (1838)

Lectures On The Establishment And Extension Of National Churches is a book written by Scottish theologian and philosopher, Thomas Chalmers, and originally published in 1838. The book is a collection of lectures delivered by Chalmers on the topic of national churches - their establishment, organization, and extension. Chalmers argues that the establishment of a national church is necessary for the moral and spiritual well-being of a nation. He discusses the benefits of a national church, such as providing a common set of beliefs and practices that can unify a society, as well as the dangers of not having a national church, such as the potential for religious division and conflict. Chalmers also addresses the issue of church extension, or the spread of the church to areas where it is not yet established. He discusses the methods and strategies that can be used to achieve this, including the importance of evangelism and missionary work. Throughout the book, Chalmers draws on his extensive knowledge of theology, philosophy, and history to support his arguments. He also provides examples of successful national churches and discusses their impact on society. Overall, Lectures On The Establishment And Extension Of National Churches is a thought-provoking and insightful work that explores the role of religion in society and the importance of a national church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
