Worship and Order in the Church explains the biblical foundations of the Christian church: what it is, what God calls it to do, how it is to be structured, what its officers are, and how it is to guard its own purity through church discipline. Owen’s carefulness and biblical perception will commend this lightly updated edition to church members and leaders alike as a very important resource for modeling our churches according to the Scriptures.
John Owen was an English theologian and "was without doubt not only the greatest theologian of the English Puritan movement but also one of the greatest European Reformed theologians of his day, and quite possibly possessed the finest theological mind that England ever produced" ("Owen, John", in Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals, p. 494)
This is a must read for every believer. Oh, how important it is to know and understand the purpose of Christ’s Church universal, and of the particular societies he has established called churches. How we must know our duties to Christ and to one another, for the sake of Christ who is our Head and King, and for our own edification until the final day when our King returns.
