Notes

Chap. 1, "Biblical Presbyterianism," discusses Jewish synagogue worship and the governing role of the elders (zekenim); they are, in Christian usage, the presbyters. Hays writes, "The New Testament Church was distinctly founded on the synagogue worship and was itself that synagogue worship adapted to the Kingdom of God under the second great dispensation" (p. 29).
