Details

Among evangelical Christians, there are different opinions about the service of deacons, from church leadership to the maintenance of the church building. The author urges to evaluate the practice of service of deacons in the light of biblical teaching. He carries out a thorough exegesis of the New Testament texts about deacons and shows that the main role of deacons is to help the elders of the church. This study offers a basis for a broader consensus among biblical churches on the issue of the ministry of deacons. The book will be useful for pastors and ministers who strive to build a church service based on biblical principles.
