Presentation

What does Scripture really teach about deacons and their role in the Church?

Opinions about the role of deacons are innumerable among evangelical Christians. For some, deacons are those who sit on the board of the Church; for others, it is those who take care of the maintenance of the grounds and the building of the Church. In this book, Alexander Strauch encourages deacons and church leaders to examine what they say and do in light of what Scripture actually teaches (or does not teach) about deacons.

Regardless of our perspective, the author urges us to study in detail the biblical data concerning deacons and to let Scripture guide our thinking. With God's help, Alexander Strauch’s approach seeks to build a broader consensus around the role of deacons in churches faithful to Scripture.

Un très bon survol

Je connaissais déjà M. Strauch puisque j'avais lu LES ANCIENS, QU'EN DIT LA BIBLE? Après avoir lu quelques ouvrages au sujet des diacres, j'avais hâte de voir comment il allait exposer les données bibliques sur le sujet; j'avais surtout envie de savoir comment il abordait le délicat sujet du diaconat féminin. J'ai apprécié son approche, sa rigueur et son honnêteté: il ne craint pas d'exprimer sa façon de percevoir les données des écritures et de nous parler des objections qui pourraient être portées contre les éléments qu'il présente. Il ne s'agit pas d'une étude très approfondie, mais ce survol des différents points m'a grandement satisfait.
