The Idea Of The Church

The Idea of the Church: An Essay is a book written by James Panton Ham and published in 1867. The book is a philosophical and theological exploration of the concept of the church, its nature, and its role in society. Ham argues that the church is not simply a physical institution, but a spiritual one, existing as an idea in the minds of believers. He also contends that the church has a unique role in promoting morality and social justice, and that it should be independent of the state. The book is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the church and its place in the world, and is still relevant today for those interested in the intersection of religion and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
