If you haven't read RETHINKING ELDERS, what are you waiting for? This book challenges present-day understanding of eldership and at the same time presents a revolutionary way of studying the New Testament. Men who are called elders may not like this book - everyone else is going to love it!
A must read for anyone involved in any movement with a strong emphasis on elders, from Pentecost to Patmos. What emerges is the clearest, most accurate revelation of what eldership really is (it si not what you have been taught). This is also must reading for all future generations seeking to return to church life, first-century style.
Want to find out what the New Testament really teaches? Using present-day Bible study methods may be injurious to your spiritual health. In this volume Edwards introduces, for the first time, a totally new way to approach the New Testament. Read RETHINKING ELDERS for many reasons, but none more important than getting to know this radical new approach to understanding what the New Testament really teaches....
"I have always carried a certain quiet disillusionment, that although I was so glad to be a Christian, the goods had never quite measured up to the advertisement. Within me there was an urge to go on until the promised land became a reality in my daily experience. Until recently, the pilgrimage has been exceedingly undulating. Some once greeted me with: 'It's so good to have you visit us Maurice, it's like a breath of fresh air.' My reply was spontaneous, 'If I stay here for long you'll feel it's like living in a gale!' So it's ever been; but god was wanting to bring this to an end, to bring about some quiet confidence and calm. In order to do this he had to allow even greater turbulence and my up-and-down existence continued; but he encouraged, the darkest hour really is often just before the dawn; confusion before clarity, and supreme exertion comes just before exhaustion into rest. So it proved to be. Staggering from trauma to trauma, heights of revelation and expectancy followed by troughs of gloom and despair - I can almost hear John Bunyan chuckle - as I sought the rest I knew existed. It was a constant quest to find myself, to discover who I really was. If anyone has laboured to enter into their rest, I have. But it was not to be in vain. The promises of God would not mock me forever. The time would come when I would see they were his to keep, not mine to desperately believe - of course that is believing; but oh so different." (From the preface) 20th CENTURY PILGRIM Maurice Smith
