James Bannerman is distinguished for two things.  First, his lecture notes, published as The Church of Christ are the definitive work on ecclesiology.   These have been helpfully digested by Ryan McGraw and are now available on Amazon for $1:50 but will be free between Thursday and Monday this week.

Second, Bannerman is the only Presbyterian stalwart to be celebrated in song by seventies band, Blue Mink.  If you do not believe me, check out this link.  Glory, glory glory, I wish that I could be Bannerman.

Oh and if anyone with influence at the Banner of Truth is reading this, you should make sure The Church of Christ is brought back into print in a decent hardback version as soon as possible.
