Close Communion Or Open Communion? An Experience And An Argument (1868)

By Crammond Kennedy

Book Overview

""Close Communion Or Open Communion? An Experience And An Argument"" is a book written by Crammond Kennedy and originally published in 1868. The book is a theological treatise that explores the debate between close communion and open communion in the Christian church. The author provides a personal experience of his own struggle with this issue and presents an argument for his position. Close communion is the practice of restricting access to the Lord's Supper to members of the same church or denomination, while open communion allows anyone who professes faith in Christ to participate. Kennedy argues in favor of close communion, citing biblical and historical evidence to support his position. He also addresses common objections to close communion and provides practical advice for those who wish to implement this practice in their churches. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of communion practices in the Christian church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
