What is a true gospel church? That question burned in the heart of Michael Harrison (1640-1729). In his time, (as with ours), fractured churches, irregular preaching, and widespread confusion was rampart. Harrison took up his pen to provide plain, biblical answers. A Gospel Church Described sets out what Scripture teaches about Christ's church-its author, names, head, matter, form, and end. Harrison carefully distinguishes between the invisible church of the elect and the visible church of those who profess Christ and their children. He defends infant membership from the continuity of the covenant of grace. He explains the necessity of a true gospel ministry, warns against disorderly preachers, and counsels believers on questions of discipline, schism, and separation. Added to this work is his Discourse on the Lord's Supper pressing the danger of neglecting Christ's ordinances.

Though written for ordinary believers in a country meeting house, this little treatise remains a treasure for the modern church. Harrison is plain but not shallow, brief but not careless. He takes the reader by the hand, shows them the meaning of Christ's promises, and guides them to love the church as Christ loves her.

For pastors, this book is a model of balanced ecclesiology: zealous for purity yet patient with imperfection. For every Christian, it is a reminder that the church is not a building or a brand, but Christ's blood-bought bride, called to walk together in covenant holiness until she is presented spotless before Him.

Michael Harrison's words, though centuries old, speak with striking relevance today:
