Who Rules the Church?: Examining Congregational Leadership and Church Government

About this book

In this book author Gerald Cowen will offer critical definitions about what the work of a pastor or elder iswhat is his job description and what are the limits of his authority. Who Rules the Church? will make the case that the New Testament model for congregational government is the Pastoral Leadership-Congregational rule. In other words authority is given by the Lord to the congregation itself but the pastor is God-called to that congregation not only to serve and take care of the congregation but to be the leader.
