In "Church Polity: Or What is an Apostolic Church?", N.M. Williams explores the structure and governance of the church, particularly focusing on the concept of an "apostolic church." This discourse, delivered in 1875, offers insights into the principles and practices that define a church aligned with apostolic teachings. Williams delves into historical perspectives and theological considerations relevant to church leadership, membership, and overall organization.

This volume provides valuable historical context for understanding 19th-century perspectives on church governance and its relationship to apostolic tradition. It remains relevant for students of church history, ministers seeking to understand historical precedents, and anyone interested in the foundations of Christian ecclesiology.
