Description
Views on the roles of deacons vary widely among evangelical Christians. What does Scripture actually teach about deacons and their role in the church?
Views range from deacons being the board of directors, to the church building maintenance crew. Strauch states that his purpose in writing this book is “to encourage my deacon friends and fellow church leaders to think more critically about what they are saying, what they are doing, and what Scripture actually teaches about deacons.”
Whatever your view of deacons may be, this study will help you examine in detail the biblical fact on deacons, allowing those facts to guide your thinking. This book offers the opportunity to build broader agreement among our Bible-believing churches as to what deacons do.
Known for his deep love for the church and for his careful Bible exegesis, Strauch’s new study cannot be ignored by churches that are committed to following a biblical church polity. This is not simply a revision of Strauch’s popular book, The New Testament Deacon: Minister of Mercy. It is a completely new study with a fresh perspective.
Note: This edition is hardcover. The paperback is no longer in print. Nothing else, including the price, has changed.
A companion Study Guide is also available. Together, these resources make excellent training material for deacons and the elders who lead them.

IN-DEPTH STUDIES
While Paul’s Vision for the Deacons undoubtedly stands alone as an important resource on the topic, certain topics addressed in the book lend themselves to very technical and detailed discussions that could muddle the book and frustrate many readers. Nonetheless, these are important topics and worthwhile studies. Throughout the text and the study guide, Strauch refers to supplemental resources that will help provide a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Below is the link to these in-depth studies. In addition, you can find more information on our Deacons section of the website.
