The Gospel Minister's Maintenance Vindicated

by Benjamin Keach

In 1689 some Baptist churches in London believed it was wrong to pay their pastors, who had to support themselves with other work. Benjamin Keach, himself a pastor, wrote this short book to argue from Scripture that churches ought to provide for those who preach to them.

It is a window into Baptist church life in the year of the famous Confession, and a question churches still talk about today.

  • Rewards a slower read
