This book is a bold book in that the author is willing to be in a small minority. The position he advocates seems be very uncommon. The book is a true book in my opinion because the author is willing to bring all the New Testament has to say on the subject into his work.
PART ONE: BIBLICAL ELDERSHIP
1. Pastoral Leadership 2. Shared Leadership 3. Male Leadership 4. Qualified Leadership 5. Servant Leadership
This section makes great reading for those thinking of going into ministry or those who have been at it a long time. Why? Because it is clear that leading one of Christ churches is very serious business and not for everyone.
PART TWO: DEFENSE OF BIBLICAL ELDERSHIP
Here are 16 pages that make the heart of the book. He makes a powerful argument for shared leadership here.
PART THREE: THE EXPOSITION OF SCRIPTURE Here in several sections and 140 pages is what the author thinks about all relevant passages of Scripture.
