Schism,

In "Schism, As Opposed to the Unity of the Church," John Hoppus explores the critical importance of unity within the Christian church, particularly addressing the divisions and schisms prevalent during his time. Originally published in 1839, this work delves into the theological and practical implications of schism, advocating for reconciliation and harmony among believers. Hoppus examines the biblical foundations for church unity, the historical consequences of division, and the essential elements of ecclesiology that promote cohesion.

This treatise offers valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining unity amidst doctrinal differences and societal pressures. It serves as a reminder of the enduring need for Christians to strive for unity in faith and practice, making it a relevant and thought-provoking read for theologians, church leaders, and anyone interested in the history and theology of Christian unity.
