Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Pastor and Deacons begins with a chapter on church dictators, followed by a call for unity among church leaders. The remainder of the work is divided into three parts.Part One explores the office of a pastor from a biblical point of view, including his God-ordained qualifications-negative and positive, the relationship with his wife and children, his reputation in the church and community, and his heavenly reward.Part Two examines the office of deacons. The study begins with the origin of their office and continues with their character requirements-both negative and positive. This section also discusses the deacons' relationship to their families and summarizes the subject of deaconesses versus deacons' wives. Part Three delves into the role of the pastor and that of the deacons. This section of the book sheds some light on their God-given ministries and the attitude God wants them to evidence as they carry out these ministries. Thus, this section includes a brief study on the types of pastoral leadership and a look at how the pastor and the deacons should relate to one another. The appendix includes a challenge to laymen to esteem those in the pastorate, and it contains a word about women's ministries, followed by a brief catalog of biblically valid ministries for women.
