A Treatise on the Eldership
The church’s outlook in the coming years rises or falls based on the quality of elders we are able to develop.
Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly common for congregations to lack the qualified men needed to make up an eldership. If this trend continues, the church's statistical decline and fading impact on the world will continue right along with it.
With that in mind, J.W. McGarvey's brief but powerful A Treatise on the Eldership is an insightful study that cuts to the heart of the church's need today. Originally published as a series of articles in ’Apostolic Times’ around 1870, McGarvey's analysis is as relevant as ever.
In this examination of the eldership, he provides a comprehensive look at what the office entails, who should be appointed to it, and how it should be carried out.
