Paul's vision for the deacons, assisting the elders with the care of God church

"My intention in writing this book is to encourage my deacon friends and fellow church leaders to think more critically about wha they are saying, what they are doing, and what Scripture actually teaches about deacons.” — Alexander Strauch Views on the roles of deacons vary widely among evangelical Christians. What does Scripture actually teach about deacons and their role in the church? Views range from deacons being the board of directors, to the church building maintenance crew. Whatever your view, I urge you to use this study to examine in detail the biblical facts on deacons, allowing those facts to guide your thinking about deacons. This close look at the key texts offers Christians an opportunity to build broader agreement among our bible-believing churches as to what deacons do.

'I found this to be an excellent book for church leaders. In my opinion, many churches and church leaders would benefit from a biblical understanding of the role of deacons and elders. Strauch does a great job of laying out the biblical concepts behind these two leadership positions. I found his book to be easy to read and very informative. I am reading it for the second time now. I highly recommend this book for churchmen.' Will Hall
