"The Divine Right of Church Government" by Sundry Ministers of Christ within the City of London is a theological treatise likely written in the early 19th century. The work explores the legitimacy and scriptural foundation of Presbyterian church governance, arguing that it possesses a divine right as appointed by Christ, distinguishing it from other forms of governance prevalent in the church. The opening of the book establishes the context for its arguments, emphasizing the necessity of a structured church governance that aligns with biblical principles. It includes an introductory explanation of the nature of divine right and presents the authors’ intention to elucidate the scriptural basis for Presbyterian governance. The text also addresses contemporary challenges to church order and the importance of adhering to Christ’s commands, highlighting the authors' commitment to safeguard true Presbyterianism against perceived threats from rival governance models. The treatise promises to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of church governance that is both theologically sound and practically applicable.
