The Establishment Principle Defended: A Reply To The Statement By The Committee Of The United Presbyterian Church On Disestablishment And Disendowment (1873) is a book written by William Balfour. The book is a response to a statement made by the Committee of the United Presbyterian Church on the topics of disestablishment and disendowment. The establishment principle refers to the idea that a particular religion or denomination should be recognized and supported by the state. In this book, Balfour defends this principle against the arguments made by the United Presbyterian Church's committee. Balfour argues that the establishment principle is necessary for the maintenance of social order and the promotion of true religion. He believes that the state has a duty to support and protect the established church, and that disestablishment would lead to chaos and confusion. The book provides a detailed analysis of the arguments made by the United Presbyterian Church's committee, and offers a point-by-point rebuttal of their claims. Balfour also provides historical examples to support his arguments, and draws on the works of other scholars and theologians to bolster his case. Overall, The Establishment Principle Defended is a thought-provoking and well-researched book that offers a strong defense of the establishment principle. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between religion and the state, and the role of the church in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
