The Elder and His Work is a classic that conveys the gravity and importance of the elder's calling. Nineteenth-century author David Dickson, an elder himself, provided this brief, complete manual describing the qualifications and duties of elders. According to Dickson, an elder is a shepherd of Christ's flock and a student of God's Word, a man growing in the gracious disciplines of the Christian life. This edition has Scripture references, updated spelling and usage, explanatory notes, and study questions for personal reflection and group discussion.
