For many years, Presbyterians have been asking for, and in desperate need of a companion to accompany the Presbyterian Constitution. With the Fourth Edition of Companion to the Constitution: Polity for the Local Church, author Frank A. Beattie does his level best to provide just that! The book is a valuable resource, designed to help the reader decipher the mysteries and complexities of the church's constitution, and develop a much more thorough understanding of the Presbyterian teachings contained within. Education and understanding were the driving forces behind Beattie writing this book. This Fourth Edition was published by Westminster John Knox Press in January of 2000.
