Open Communion; or the Principles of Restricted Communion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149495025)

"Open Communion; or the Principles of Restricted Communion" explores the theological debate surrounding who is eligible to participate in the Lord's Supper. Written by S.W. Whitney (1822-1905), this 19th-century work examines the arguments for and against allowing individuals who have not been baptized as believers to partake in communion. Whitney, likely a Baptist minister, presents a detailed analysis of scripture and various theological viewpoints related to this divisive issue within Christian denominations. This book provides valuable insight into historical Baptist thought and the ongoing discussion about the meaning and practice of communion.
