Chapter 5 of the book is probably the most detailed of all of the chapters. It deals with "The Pastor".

He makes a lot of good points about the rise and progression of the hierarchical type of leadership from the days of the apostles down to our present day. I guess I could say from OT times to present, because he goes from the OT priesthood, to the pope, to the pastor!

A lot of material was presented and apart from his premise--that no one person should be in leadership within an assembly--I'd have to give a hearty AMEN to his findings. Plurality of eldership is a fine concept in an ideal world but unfortunately it doesn't fit the pattern set forth in the Bible.[See the topic in this same section entitled: The Concept of Leadership for a look at what the Bible teaches concerning this issue.]

Chapter 6, Church Costumes, was a bit more light-hearted coming off the previous humdinger of a chapter!

More later.

Blessings,
William
