Dr. Cornelis Van Dam's most recent title, The Elder: Today's Ministry Rooted in all of Scripture, has been released for sale in November 2009. Dr. Van Dam has lectured internationally on this subject and his research and biblical insights are now available for a wider audience.
One of the current challenges in properly appreciating the eldership is that it has more often than not been detached from its historic roots. This study seeks to redress this deficiency by going beyond the New Testament to the very beginnings of this office in ancient Israel. God's revelation in the Old Testament helps us to see something of this glorious office. The book includes a look at timely topics of elders for life and female elders.
The book is published by P&R Publishing, of Phillipsburg, and it is part of the Explorations in Biblical Theology series. The series consists of titles which combine satisfying content with the accessibility and readability of a popular book. The result is a valuable edition to the library of anyone concerned to know what the Bible really says. Each chapter includes questions for study and discussion, and the book concludes with suggested resources for further reading.
