Summary: Misleading in its Intended Audience
Review: This volume is strictly aimed towards lay persons serving as elders in various Christian denominations. With the exception of a brief biblical history of the diaconate, it is of little if any use to Deacons or postulates to the diaconate in the Episcopal, Roman Catholic, or Lutheran traditions.
