# Isaac V. Brown on the Foundation Needed by the Church

“No true church can exist which has not the uncorrupted word of God for her basis, and the cardinal doctrines of grace for her chief corner stones, her pedestals, her porches, her columns, and her imperishable wall of defence.” — [**Isaac Van Arsdale Brown**](/authors/isaac-van-arsdale-brown), *A Historical Vindication of the Abrogation of the Plan of Union by the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America* (1855), p. iii
