Status Updates From Presbyterianism: Its Histor...

Really good

Pt.3 Government: imo. Too brief. Miller briefly shows scriptural arguments against Episcopalianism, Congregationalism, and Independent. While a faithful interpretation of scripture, it would likely not be sufficient for convincing a friend holding a counter position.

Pt.2 Doctrine: Miller satisfactorily defends Calvinism from Scripture and its predominance through history (particularly among all the Reformers). He also exposes the errors of Arminianism and Pelagianism, and some of the logical fallacies they are guilty of. However, this section would not take the place of a more pointed work, such as R.C. Sproul's masterful book, "Chosen by God".

Pt1: History. Miller correctly locates the origin of Presbyterianism in the OT: The Elders alongside Moses, the higher courts, and the connectionalism of the Synagogues. Miller continues this into what's seen in the NT, including the Jerusalem Synod. From here, he shows Presbyterianism's predominance in the early Church, its continuation during the rise of the Prelacy, Democracy, and persisting into the modern era.
