Learn how the deacon shaped church life through history and scripture. This study clarifies the duties, governance, and care of church finances from early times to modern practice.
The book examines how the deacon’s office was defined in the Christian church, its relation to elders and pastors, and the way funds and charitable work have been handled across centuries. It also looks at why some traditions replaced the office with boards or committees, and how those shifts affected ministry and mission.
- Trace the origins and purpose of the deacon in biblical and historical contexts.
- Read a critical look at substitutes like trustees and their impact on church life.
- Compare practices from ancient churches to reforms in later periods and various denominations.
- Understand how fiscal responsibilities and oversight fit within Presbyterian church government.
Ideal for readers of church history, governance, and financial stewardship within faith communities.
