Addressing the changing role of the ordained ministry, Roger Beckwith looks both within and without the church walls in this journey of exploration. Whilst the clergy's traditional roles in education, counselling, social welfare and marriage guidance has been taken over by teachers, doctors, psychiatrists and social workers, inside, the ordained ministry is also under attack. With the campaign for the ministry of the laity and the prevalence of the Charismatic Movement, the claiming of exclusive rights for the clergy has become much more problematic. Do the clergy have any distinctive role at all? How did the belief arise that they do and can this be grounded in Scripture? Written with clarity and compassion, Elders in Every City explores the emergence and function of the ordained ministry against its historical background, and draws out important lessons for today's church.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49517807010065,"sku":"GOR005780501","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53001674293521,"sku":"GOR012986158","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53139144114449,"sku":"GOR007753927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53196200018193,"sku":"CIN1842272306G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53557813379345,"sku":"GOR014959405","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1842272306.jpg?v=1751185529"},{"product_id":"sacrifice-in-the-bible-book-beckwith-9780801020445","title":"Sacrifice in the Bible","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50129105125649,"sku":"CIN0801020441G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51346672943377,"sku":"GOR014232379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801020441.jpg?v=1750785485"},{"product_id":"thirty-nine-articles-book-j-i-packer-9780946307562","title":"The Thirty-nine Articles","description":"What defines the Church of England? Are the Thirty-nine Articles of any relevance today? Anglicanism, according to Jim Packer, possesses the truest, wisest and potentially richest heritage in all Christendom with the Thirty-nine Articles at its heart. They catch the substance and spirit of biblical Christianity superbly well, and also provide and excellent model of how to confess the faith in a divided Christendom. In this Latimer Study, Packer aims to show how the sixteenth century Articles should be viewed in the twenty-first century, and how they can enrich the faith of Anglicans in general and of Anglican evangelicals in particular. He demonstrates why the Articles must once again be given a voice within the church, not merely as an historical curiosity but an authoritative doctrinal statement. A thought-provoking appendix by Roger Beckwith offers seventeen Supplementary Articles, addressing theological issues which have come into prominence since the original Articles were composed. This booklet, first published more than twenty years ago, remains much in demand and as timely as ever. It has proved on of the most popular and enduring Latimer Studies, and is now issued in a second edition. Jim Packer is Board of Governors' Professor of Theology at Regent College, Vancouver. Amongst his many best-selling books are 'Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God' (1961), 'Knowing God' (1973), 'Keep in Step with the Spirit' (1984), and 'Among God's Giants' (1991). Roger Beckwith was librarian and warden of Latimer House, Oxford, for more than thirty years. His recent books include 'Elders in Every City' (2003) and 'Calendar, Chronology and Worship' (2005).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50291951403281,"sku":"GOR003982838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009640300817,"sku":"NIN9780946307562","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51073338114321,"sku":"CIN0946307563VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52394473488657,"sku":"GOR003322869","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52650328883473,"sku":"CIN0946307563G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52682356883729,"sku":"NLS9780946307562","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0946307563.jpg?v=1751439579"},{"product_id":"elders-in-every-city-book-roger-beckwith-9781916834132","title":"Elders in Every City","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn retirement, Beckwith published one of his most important and enduring books - \u003cem\u003eElders in Every City: The Origin and Role of the Ordained Ministry\u003c\/em\u003e (2003) - dedicated to J. I. Packer, his 'mentor and friend'. This slim and highly accessible study, based on a series of addresses to the clergy of Blackburn diocese, shows how the ministry of presbyters and bishops evolved in the early church with roots in the teaching office of elders in the Jewish synagogue. In a letter of appreciation, Packer wrote from Regent College, Vancouver: 'From every standpoint it's a little gem: heartiest congratulations!' In his introduction to the volume, Beckwith exclaims: 'if the writer seems to be devoted to the \u003cem\u003eBook of Common Prayer\u003c\/em\u003e and its \u003cem\u003eOrdinal\u003c\/em\u003e, to the \u003cem\u003eThirty-Nine Articles\u003c\/em\u003e and the writings of Cranmer and Hooker, that is because he is.
