In Ephesians 4:11, the apostle Paul tells us that Jesus gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to the church. He did this in the days of the New Testament; the question is, does Jesus still give all of them to the church today? This book seeks to address this question. In this book you will find:
The ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers defined.
Names of people in the Bible who held these ministries.
Descriptions of each ministry from a biblical-historical perspective.
An examination of the contemporary expressions of the ministries of evangelists, pastors, and teachers.
Answers to objections about the presence of apostles and prophets in the church today.
A case for the continuance of the ministries of apostles and prophets in the modern church.
A description of the ministries of apostles and prophets in the contemporary church.
