The debate that occurred between Independents and Presbyterians of the 17th century was no small occurrence. Since England, Ireland and Scotland were to take on a national covenant and a Reformed Confession together they had to be of like-mind on the subject of the church. There were over 10,000 documents written and printed during the time of the Westminster Assembly on this issue. This was no small matter. This work by Daniel Cawdrey is extremely important on the doctrine of church government. Cawdrey writes against Dr. John Owen’s work, the “Tract on Schism” published in 1657. Cawdrey masterfully deals with Owen’s work, and explains the nature of Dr. Owen’s mistakes on attempting to justify Independency. Cawdrey not only demonstrates that Dr. Owen is biblically wrong, but also that the position of Independency is in fact a “great schism” to the church of Jesus Christ. Chapters include: Of the Nature of Schism in Scripture Causeless Separation from a true Church is Schism Of the Church Catholic Mystical, and its Union Of the Church Catholic visible, and its Union Independentism in Donatism Of the particular Church, and its Union Independentism, a great Schism This work also contains "an appendix to the former discourse of schism; showing the inconstancy of the Dr. and the inconsistency of his former and present opinions." This is not a scan or facsimile, and contains an active table of contents for electronic versions.

An enlightened exploration of history to unite a deeply divided America The political dialogue in America has collapsed. Raw and bitter emotions such as anger and resentment have crowded out any logical debate. In this investigative tracing of our nation’s divergent roots, author Seth David Radwell explains that only reasoned analysis and historical perspective can act as salves for the irrational political discourse that is raging at present. Two disparate Americas have always coexisted, and Radwell discovered that the surprising origin of these dual Americas was not an Enlightenment, but two distinct Enlightenments that have been fiercely competing since the founding of our country. Radwell argues that it is only by embracing Enlightenment principles that we can build a civilized, progressive, and tolerant society. American Schism reveals • the roots of the rifts in America since its founding and what is really dividing red and blue America; • the core issues that underlie all of today’s bickering; • a detailed, effective plan to move forward, commencing what will be a long process of repair and reconciliation. Seth David Radwell changes the nature of the political debate by fighting unreason with reason, allowing Americans to firmly ground their differing points of view in rationality.
