Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the grounds for the long-standing practice within the Presbyterian Church of having only ordained ministers lay hands on candidates for ordination. The author examines how this custom, rooted in biblical examples and Reformation-era church structure, has been upheld despite challenges within the church and the evolution of Presbyterianism more broadly. Of particular interest is the author's exploration of the different interpretations and debates over the meaning of key passages in the Westminster Standards, which provide the theological framework for Presbyterian practice. This rich examination illuminates the historical, scriptural, and theological underpinnings of the church's position on ordination, offering valuable insights for understanding Presbyterian ecclesiology and its significance in the broader Christian tradition.
