Endorsement

“This wonderful work of Thomas Dwight Witherspoon is dangerous. Be careful when you open this ancient tome. You might find out that Presbyterianism is more than just a good idea––it is God’s divinely revealed method of church government with roots in the ministry of Moses. In short, Presbyterianism works every time it’s tried, because the Bible says so. I am so grateful to be a part of a thriving, healthy biblical tradition that speaks clearly to how the local church should be ruled. We are not captive to either a bishop or today’s bad idea.”
