Church Doctrine, Bible Truth (1868)

Church Doctrine, Bible Truth is a book written by Michael Ferrebee Sadler and published in 1868. The book delves into the relationship between the doctrines of the church and the teachings of the Bible. Sadler argues that while the church's doctrines may be important, they should always be based on the truth found in the Bible.The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the origins and development of church doctrine, tracing its evolution from the teachings of the apostles to the present day. Sadler examines the role of councils, creeds, and other church authorities in shaping doctrine, and argues that these should always be subject to the authority of the Bible.The second part of the book focuses on specific doctrines and their relationship to the Bible. Sadler examines topics such as the Trinity, the nature of Christ, and the sacraments, showing how these doctrines can be understood in light of biblical teachings. He also addresses controversies within the church, such as the debate over predestination, and offers his own perspective on these issues.Throughout the book, Sadler emphasizes the importance of a close relationship between church doctrine and Bible truth. He argues that the Bible should always be the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice, and that church doctrine should be grounded in its teachings. Church Doctrine, Bible Truth is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Christian doctrine and the relationship between the church and the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
