Een grensgeval; oorsprong en functie van het territoriale beginsel in het gereformeerde kerkrecht

This study examines the question of the theological value of a territorial church formation and focuses especially on the tendency in the Dutch Reformed Church to enforce parish boundaries on the parishioners as a means of maintaining spiritual unity. It searches for the historical roots of this nowadays fiercely disputed obligation and starts with the claim, that the early church did not have such an obligatory parish system. . Zie: Summary
