There are not many outstanding books on the nature of the church written today. This one is exceptional and follows the doctrines contained in the Westminster Confession.

The Way to Heaven by John Philips

John Philips was a staunch reformed puritan with a view akin to the Westminster Assembly on the nature of the church.


This work by Philips covers the important topic of the nature of the church. Philips explains that salvation is only found in the Church. He demonstrates what the Church is; by what means men are added to the Church; the Author, or Efficient cause of this addition; the time and continuance of that work; and the happiness of those that are added to the Church. His text comes from Acts 2:47, “And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved.” In this treatise he covers three branches to define the church, and then explains how the church ministers the salvation of God through Jesus Christ by the ministry of the Word, faith and baptism. This is an excellent work which is also a polemic against the Roman Catholic Church as well as heretical sects.


This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

His text comes from Acts 2:47, “And the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved.”

That is also the proof text from the WCF on that portion of 25:2 (i.e., that outside of the church there is no ordinarily possibility of salvation ).

For what it's worth, I have greatly enjoyed these Puritan works that Dr. McMahon has made available.
