His Glorious Bride

What is the Church? What are its true marks? How should the roles of pastors, elders, and deacons be defined? What is church discipline and when should it be employed? And what is the Church''s role in relation to the civil government? <p><p> From questions regarding church membership and the proper role of preaching to excommunication and the jurisdictional bounds between Church and State, 16th century Reformer Pierre Viret offers solid Biblical clarity and wisdom to the contemporary church in his writings on Christ''s glorious Bride. Dealing with sacraments, the proper presentation of the Law and the Gospel, and brotherly reconciliation and the communion of the saints, <em>His Glorious Bride </em>presents an easily-understood, practical study on the Church and its various aspects and responsibilities.
