The nineteenth century was a fertile period for the development and explication of the doctrine of the Church. Both in Scotland and the United States a number of men expended much energy expounding a robust ecclesiology, one soundly biblical and God-honoring. One of these men was Thomas Ephraim Peck (1822-1893), a native of South Carolina and a close friend of James Henley Thornwell. Notes on Ecclesiology contains Peck's mature thought on the doctrine of the church, including his explication of the diaconate and his defense of divine right (jus divinum) in Presbyterianism. Peck believed that Christ so loved His Church that He provided her with clear details in the nature and manner of church governance. The biblical doctrine of the Church, the spiritual society of God, is set forth in this little volume in a logical and warm fashion by a master interpreter of Holy Scripture.
