Duties of Christian Fellowship
by John Owen
Drawn from Owen's early work Eshcol, this short manual sets out the responsibilities Christians owe to their pastors and to one another within the local church. Owen frames church membership as a shared life of mutual love, prayer, watchfulness, and edification ordered by the rule of the gospel.
Based on Eshcol: A Cluster of the Fruit of Canaan (1648), by John Owen

In John Owen's own words
“Prayer for the good, prosperity, flourishing, peace, increase, edification, and protection of the church is a duty every day required of all the members thereof.”
