Description
The role of deacon is a precious gift from God to His church, yet in modern times, it is frequently overlooked, misinterpreted, and seen as insignificant. In The Deacon, the author explores the Old Testament foundations of this calling, the role of deacons in the New Testament and throughout church history, and their present-day function. Readers will gain a renewed appreciation for the sacred and honorable duty of deacons and a clearer grasp of God’s expectations for them. Cornelis Van Dam, emeritus professor of Old Testament at the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Ontario, is also the author of The Elder: Today’s Ministry Rooted in All of Scripture.”
