Publisher's Description
For 35 years Biblical Eldership has been the premier book explaining the biblical teaching on church eldership, which is shared pastoral leadership by a council of scripturally-qualified, Spirit-placed elders. Biblical Eldership has helped ignite a worldwide awakening to this long-neglected and misunderstood subject.
This new edition is a comprehensive revision. For those who love solid Bible exposition, this is a much-welcomed volume. Every New Testament passage on eldership is carefully interpreted and expounded, allowing the biblical authors to speak for themselves. By interacting with the latest scholarship and addressing all key issues of this important topic, the author makes a significant contribution to the subjects of church government and pastoral leadership.
Biblical Eldership serves as a commentary, resource tool, and textbook for developing shepherd elders. Thousands of churches worldwide have used this book for training biblical elders, with over 250,000 copies in print in more than 20 languages. With this thoroughly updated edition, Biblical Eldership will continue to be the go-to standard resource for years to come.Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“I cannot say enough about Biblical Eldership by Alexander Strauch.... Helpful in so many ways, Strauch sets forth the definition of a leader, defends his position theologically and exegetically and also does a magnificent job of expositing texts that bolster his case.... Over the years, nothing has helped me better understand the role, mission, responsibilities, and qualifications of a biblical elder.”
Dr. David S. Steele
Pastor of Theology, First Baptist Church, La Grande OR
“Strauch does an excellent job of defining, clarifying, and encouraging the New Testament model of leadership through the plurality of elders. I highly recommend this book for any pastor who is interested in the New Testament model of leadership”
Luke Geraty
Lead Pastor, Trinity Christian Fellowship, Stanley, WI
“...a remarkable book concerning pastoral leadership and church government. Biblical Eldership by Alexander Strauch should be required reading for all church leaders; we simply know of no greater treatment of the subjects it covers. Because the book sticks so closely to the biblical text, the lessons are immediately practical for any church, no matter the size or the culture.”
Granted Ministries
“...a very helpful book both on the New Testament pattern and how approximation can be achieved within existing polities...cogent, scholarly...Strauch makes good use of the best scholarly research.”
Robert Duncan Culver
Author, Systematic Theology: Biblical and Historical
“Our eldership has gone through Biblical Eldership and the guide book twice. It has been the finest investment of our time in the twelve years that I’ve been at the church. It has helped us see what were all about and has gotten us to function the way God designed us to. Biblical Eldership is a fine work and a thorough Biblical exposition on eldership.”
Bryce Jessup
President William Jessup University
“A very useful resource for teaching the New Testament truth regarding elders in the local church. Sound, clear, and extremely important. Recommended.”

“An excellent text for the study of eldership by young and older men interested in the work of an elder. Strauch is a man of gift and experience, and I am grateful for his work.”
S. Lewis Johnson
Professor Emeritus of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary
“At last, a thorough biblical study on the basis of church government and especially the function and ministry of elders! New churches will find it a valuable guideline to effective functioning and older churches will find it a trustworthy corrective.”
Ray Stedman

“For churches to thrive they need to be led by men who follow the Scriptures. Alexander Strauch wonderfully instructs us on the character qualifications needed to serve as elders and the responsibilities incumbent on elders. This book is a valuable resource for courses on pastoral ministry and is highly recommended for every church.”
Thomas R. Schreiner
Associate Dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“There are few books I distribute in greater numbers or with greater confidence than Biblical Eldership. If every pastor and every elder read this book and applied the Scripture it illumines, the church would be blessed immeasurably.”
