This book is an abridgment of Dr. Lightfoot's dissertation on the Christian ministry, focusing on the constitution and history of that ministry, rather than its sacred nature. The author has meticulously analyzed the nature of the ministry as set forth in the New Testament, paying special attention to the roles of deacons, presbyters, and bishops. The book further examines the development of the episcopate after the close of the canon and considers the relationship between bishops and presbyters. The author concludes that the form of church government found in the Bible consists solely of presbyters and deacons, with no permanent, prescribed form of polity. This book is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the history and development of the Christian ministry.
