Paperback. Zustand: 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.
