註釋"In this book, Steven Croft outlines the challenges that contemporary society presents to churches. Traditional models of mission and ministry no longer provide an adequate response to the way people live today." "Steven Croft proposes a biblically-based understanding of ministry that can be far more fruitful. Through Scripture and church history, he explores the three dimensions of ministry indicated by three different Greek words found in the New Testament: diakonia, presbyteros and episcope, uncovering the rich tradition surrounding what it means to be an ordained leader in the church." "He shows that this new, relevant understanding of ordained ministry can be built across the denominations and explains how it can be put into practice, suggesting ways in which each minister can balance the three different dimensions in their own setting." "Ministry in Three Dimensions is particularly aimed at those considering ordination, those already in training for the ministry and existing clergy or ministers. It is also relevant to the wider Church as part of an ongoing debate about the nature of ordained ministry in the context of a Church in mission. It is suitable for individuals and group study." "This new edition of the book includes a new chapter looking at the development of pioneer ministry and fresh expressions of church."--BOOK JACKET.
