C. Matthew McMahon
Christian Preacher
A Gospel Church Described by Michael Harrison (1640-1729)
What is a true gospel church? In 1700, English pastor Michael Harrison (1640–1729) published A Gospel Church Described to answer that question with clarity and Scripture. Written for ordinary believers in a time of turmoil, this work remains a timeless guide to Christ’s design for His church. Harrison explains the church’s author, names, head, matter, form, and end. He distinguishes invisible and visible church, defends infant membership from the covenant of grace, sets forth the necessity of a true gospel ministry, and warns against disorderly preaching. He provides counsel on membership, discipline, schism, and separation.
