Cornelis Van Dam – The Deacon

Biblical Foundations for Today’s Ministry of Mercy

The office of deacon is God’s gift to His church, but today it is often undervalued, misunderstood, and perceived to be of little importance. Rooted in scholarly research and written from a Reformed perspective, Cornelis Van Dam’s The Deacon considers both the Old and New Testament biblical foundations for the calling of deacon, as well as the developments of the office through church history and the current function of the office in today’s church. The Deacon invites current deacons, those discerning the call or being equipped for diaconal ministry, seminary students, pastors, or interested church members to rediscover the high and privileged calling of diaconal ministry and come to a better understanding of what God requires of them.
