Synopsis
Understanding the office of ruling elder and why it matters for church leadership
This concise study explains the divine authority, duties, and responsibilities of the ruling elder within the Christian church.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a vital aspect of Christianityâ"the scriptural authority of the Office of Ruling Elderâ"and explores the role of individuals charged with overseeing the Church. The author establishes that Christ instituted a particular form of government for his Church through a class of persons designated as Elders, or Overseers. This study is rooted in the belief that a well-functioning eldership is essential for spiritual prosperity and for effectively presenting the Christian model of Church order as a compelling alternative to less scriptural ecclesiastical platforms. The author argues that a dedicated and knowledgeable eldership will lead to greater order, purity, activity, charity, spirituality, and fruitfulness within their congregations, thereby honoring God and serving as a blessing to both members and the world at large. This insightful book offers a thorough examination of the scriptural foundation for the Office of Ruling Elder and is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand and strengthen the role of elders in the Church.
