Über diesen Titel
Gene Edwards challenges one of the most entrenched traditions in modern Christianity: the role of the professional pastor. Drawing from both Scripture and church history, Edwards argues that the contemporary pastoral office is not only unscriptural but also spiritually debilitating, for pastors and congregations alike. Through personal anecdotes, historical insight, and biblical analysis, he reveals how the institutional pastorate emerged not from the early church but from post-apostolic traditions, particularly Roman Catholic practices.
Edwards appeals directly to pastors struggling with burnout, isolation, and a sense of futility, offering them both permission and encouragement to walk away from the traditional model. He presents an alternative vision: one of organic, Spirit-led, lay-directed church life rooted in the New Testament pattern. The book is a call to radical obedience, urging pastors to recover the freedom, authenticity, and communal vitality of first-century Christianity.
