The Elder and His Work

Book Description

The Elder and His Work is a classic that conveys the gravity and importance of the elder's calling. Nineteenth-century author David Dickson provided this brief, complete manual describing the qualifications and duties of elders.

According to Dickson, an elder is a shepherd of Christ's flock and a student of God's Word-a man growing in the gracious disciplines of the Christain life.

This edition has Scripture references, updated spelling and usage, explanatory notes, and study questions for personal reflection and group discussion.

"Phil Ryken and George McFarland have served us well by bringing this classic on the shepherding ministry of elders up-to-date and back into print. The thoughtful tone of this work is convicting, encouraging ust to be shepherds God has raised up for the good of His flock and the glory of His name. I can't wait to use this with our own elders" - Mark Dever
