For thirty-five years Biblical Eldership has been the book that explains the New Testament teaching on church eldership, and it helped ignite a worldwide recovery of a long-neglected and widely misunderstood subject.

Alexander Strauch works through more than fifteen passages of Scripture on eldership, arguing for shared pastoral leadership by a council of scripturally qualified, Spirit-placed elders. This edition is a comprehensive revision, in hardcover, for those who want solid Bible exposition rather than organizational theory.
