Jeremiah Burroughs bares his pastoral heart in this call for ceasing needless division among God's people. With doctrinal precision and care, Burroughs illuminates the sources of and solutions to common divisions within the church. He explains when we should plead our conscience, provides rules to know in what areas we are to bear with our brethren, and shows that "every difference in religion is not a differing religion." He discusses the role of pride, self-love, envy, anger, rigidity, rashness, willfulness, inconsistency, jealousy, contentiousness, covetousness, and gossip in division. Burroughs concludes that the answer for division does not lie in blanket tolerance of all religions nor in a compromising attitude toward sin, but in a biblical striving for peace. Given the divisiveness of Christians in all generations, this treatise is extremely applicable.
