The single-elder-led church : the Bible's witness to a congregational/single-elder-led polity / Daniel L. Akin -- The Presbytery-led church : Presbyterian church government / Robert L. Reymond -- The congregation-led church : congregational polity / James Leo Garrett, Jr. -- The bishop-led church : the Episcopal or Anglican polity affirmed, weighed, and defended / Paul F.M.

Summary: "Perspectives on Church Government presents in counterpoint form the basic models of church government which have developed over the course of church history with a view toward determining which is most faithful to Scripture. Each chapter will be written by a prominent person from within each tradition-with specific guidelines dealing with the biblical, historical, and theological issues within each governance tradition. In addition, each writer will have the opportunity to give a brief response to the other traditions"--Publisher description.
