About the Book

"The Authority of Councils" delves into the crucial topic of the church's authority to discipline its members and maintain order within its ranks. In this insightful book, John Calvin navigates the complex terrain of ecclesiastical governance, drawing from biblical principles and historical examples to illuminate the role of councils in preserving the purity and integrity of the church.


Calvin begins by establishing the divine origin and legitimacy of church authority, emphasizing that the power to discipline rests on the authority granted by Christ himself. He explores the biblical foundations for disciplinary measures, highlighting the responsibility of the church to exercise judgment and impose corrective actions when necessary.


Furthermore, Calvin examines the historical context of church councils, tracing their development and their significance in upholding doctrinal orthodoxy and addressing conflicts within the church. He provides a nuanced understanding of the diverse types of councils, ranging from local assemblies to ecumenical gatherings, each with their specific roles and functions.


In his characteristic style, Calvin offers practical wisdom and guidance on the proper exercise of disciplinary authority, emphasizing the need for balanced judgment, adherence to biblical principles, and a focus on spiritual restoration rather than mere punishment. He cautions against the abuse of power and encourages a spirit of humility and love in the exercise of discipline, always seeking the edification and well-being of the body of Christ.


"The Authority of Councils" serves as an invaluable resource for church leaders and members alike, shedding light on the vital role of disciplinary measures in maintaining the health and purity of the church. With theological insight and historical perspective, Calvin invites readers to contemplate the significance of church authority and the responsible exercise of disciplinary power for the sake of the church's witness and the spiritual growth of its members.
