Eshcol - A Cluster of the Fruit of Canaan

by John Owen

Written for his congregation at Coggeshall in 1648, this practical manual sets out rules for walking together in Gospel fellowship — covering duties toward pastors, mutual love, prayer, bearing burdens, financial support, admonition, and separation from the world. Each rule is stated concisely with supporting scripture, then expounded with characteristic Reformed clarity and pastoral warmth. A foundational document for understanding Owen's early Congregationalist ecclesiology.
