The First Century World-View and Leadership - Timothy J. Glover - Bog

Church leadership is the product of early Christians desiring to establish continuity with the past and authority to support their leadership role. This, in turn, produced the church institution which is represented in both Catholicism and her protestant children. The Bible becomes their proof-text to support a multitude of views some of which are contradictory. This book is designed to expose the division of Christianity created when we apply first-century practices unique to that era.
