Scripture and church order
This article attempts to contribute to the clarification of the relationship between Scripture and church order. The concept church order is not considered to refer to rules and regulations only, but to encompass the entire nature of the church. In attempting to answer the question about the relationship between Scripture" and church order, the author first sets out the views of a number of theologians on the issue and thereafter presents his perspective Oil the issue.
