""Patronage In The Church Of Scotland Considered"" is a book written by James Bridges that explores the issue of patronage in the Church of Scotland. The book was first published in 1839 and is considered an important work in the history of the Scottish church. Patronage refers to the practice of appointing ministers to churches by wealthy landowners or patrons, rather than by the congregation. Bridges argues that this practice is detrimental to the spiritual health of the church and leads to corruption and abuse of power. He provides historical examples of how patronage has been used to suppress dissent and promote the interests of the wealthy elite.The book also explores the theological implications of patronage and how it conflicts with the principles of Presbyterianism, the dominant form of church governance in Scotland. Bridges argues that the power to appoint ministers should be in the hands of the congregation, as this is a more democratic and accountable system.Overall, ""Patronage In The Church Of Scotland Considered"" is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about church governance and the role of the congregation in the appointment of ministers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
