Paul, Robert S. 1918-1992.
The assembly of the Lord : politics and religion in the Westminster Assembly and the 'grand debate' / by Robert S. Paul. - Edinburgh : T. & T. Clark, 1985. - x, 609 pages : 2 maps ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
The national context -- The call of the assembly -- The articles and the covenant -- Descriptive interlude: the parties -- The debate begins: September to December 1643 -- 'In the midst of the debates' -- The problem of ordination: January 1644 -- Into the breach: January 1644 continued -- The battle for Presbyterian government: artillery barrage -- THe battle for Presbyterian government: assault from prepared positions -- 'Once more unto the breach': church order again -- In and out of the Assembly -- THe parting -- Covenanted uniformity -- A broken engagement -- 'Mariage de convenence' -- End of the affair.
In this definitive study, the issues of the Assembly, its historical context and its great influence on subsequent events are explored in unprecedented detail and with a finely balanced historical judgment. The systematic use of all the original source material sheds a great deal of light on the Assembly For example, the interplay between religion and politics in the Assembly in the context of the political struggles of the English Civil War, is seen to be of crucial importance to any fundamental understanding of the Assembly itself. Professor Paul contends that the issues which gave rise to the Assembly, the Grand Debate between rival Presbyterian and Congregational forms of government, are very much alive today, and essential background to current ecumenical thinking. - Publisher.
