For 35 years Biblical Eldership has been the premier book explaining the biblical teaching on church eldership, which is shared pastoral leadership by a council of scripturally-qualified, Spirit-placed elders. Biblical Eldership has helped ignite a worldwide awakening to this long-neglected and misunderstood subject.

This new edition is a comprehensive revision. For those who love solid Bible exposition, this is a much-welcomed volume. Every New Testament passage on eldership is carefully interpreted and expounded, allowing the biblical authors to speak for themselves. By interacting with the latest scholarship and addressing all key issues of this important topic, the author makes a significant contribution to the subjects of church government and pastoral leadership.
