What's New from Skinner House Books?
The Cambridge PlatformContemporary Reader's Edition
Edited by Peter Hughes
Skinner House is pleased to present a new edition of the Cambridge Platform, the 1648 document that first articulated the foundational principle of congregational polity–the independent form of church governance that is the common heritage shared by Unitarians, Universalists and other congregationally ordered churches. Now Peter Hughes has made the Cambridge Platform available and accessible to a new generation of ministers and laypeople, with clarified scriptural citations, modernized spelling and punctuation, and a preface that addresses the contemporary value of this touchstone of religious liberty. Includes an introduction by Alice Blair Wesley. $8.00
