Book Review: The Deacon

The Deacon: The Biblical Roots and the Ministry of Mercy TodayThe Deacon: The Biblical Roots and the Ministry of Mercy Today by Cornelis Van Dam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very thoughtful examination of the nature of the office of deacon. The author looks at the term deacon, the term office, the history of the office of deacon, the role of women in the office of deacon, and current practical uses for the office of deacon. I recommend this to any Church that seeks to conform the diaconate to a biblical standard.
