Shepherding God's Flock: Biblical Leadership in the New Testament and Beyond

by Benjamin L. Merkle (Editor), Thomas R. Schreiner (Editor), Jason G. Duesing (Contributor)

A biblical, historical, theological, and practical foundation for pastoral leadership

Pastors have been entrusted with leading the people of God. The shepherds of God's flock must protect them from and guide them through the many dangers believers face. Although ultimately the Church is led by Christ, pastors are to provide godly examples of what it means to be a follower of the Lord. Consequently, who leads the church, the type of authority they are given, how they relate to one another, to whom they are accountable, and how they are selected are of utmost importance to the life and health of God's people. This book provides the biblical, historical, theological, and practical foundation of the crucial task of leading God's people.

Solid and surprisingly readable. Some of it I could have done without, but on the whole it was quite good.

[Jimmy Reagan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Here is a book on a hot topic in our day–what church leadership ought to look like. With a clear call to be a true shepherd, this volume also discusses church polity. It is written from a Baptist perspective, is kind to all viewpoints, and it it has no problem stating its own position. Eleven contributors join forces to give us a clear, worthwhile volume.

Beginning in Bible times, this volume discuss how much the church borrowed from a synagogue background of the times (not as much as some say it concludes). Chapters 2-4 masterfully guide us through the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles.

While the volume speaks passionately at times on ministry, it could as easily find a place on the ecclesiology shelves. Two chapters explain Catholic polity. Though I found that less interesting, a good case was made for the affect that has had on all Christianity. Next we have the Presbyterian model of church government well explained. Then Anglican thought is described.

Finally we have Baptist thought discussed. As a Baptist, I think the reasons we do not agree with the above options are well given. Then, the authors go on to show that they believe a plurality of elders are the correct biblical model too. I do not agree and was unpersuaded by the arguments given. They were fair and candid, however, in mentioning that there is little proof that this is the historic Baptist position. They work had at making their case and readers will do well in learning from them as they state issues well.

Chapter 11 is a superb conclusion about shepherding a flock today. We can learn from this volume.

[C.J. Moore · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good biblical, theological, and HISTORICAL primer on church leadership. The main negative is that, by the end, through the authors' affirmation of previously stated material, the work becomes overly repetitive. It could have been a few chapters shorter.

[Zachary Horn · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. I quite liked this book--certainly more than I anticipated. In general, I tend to dislike books with multiple contributors. Partially, this is due to the fact that it is difficult to maintain an argument throughline, and typically there is a wide discrepancy in the quality of each essay. Certainly, I cared more about some essays than others in this work as well, but I was pleasantly surprised by the consistent quality. Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of overlap/repititon between sections which overall compromised the readability, but there are some really helpful thoughts/reflections on pastoring in this book that make it well worth reading.

[Greg Mathis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Helpful and accessible. Each chapter is presented in article form from top-drawer scholars. Overlap of certain themes, however, produced some redundancies (officer qualifications, defenses of plural eldership, e.g.) that should have been weeded out by the editors. However, in this book, academic rigor is brought to bear to produce a pastorally helpful resource.

“The importance of church leadership can so easily be either overstated, or understated.” (283)

It is common knowledge that when it comes to the leading of people by people, everything rises and falls on leadership. Whether it is a small business or a large multi-billion dollar corporation, both can be brought to their knees under bad leadership. Moses’ father-in-law realized as much when he approached him and suggested that he divide his oversight by appointing capable men to rule over the Israel with Moses. People need competent men and enough of them to lead them rightly.

For centuries Protestant churches have debated over proper and biblical polity, particularly regarding the office of elder and deacon and the roles they play within the local church and beyond. It seems that within the literature, this issue does not die down and there are new books on both sides of the debate being published regularly. Writing from a Baptist perspective, Benjamin Merkle and Thomas Schreiner have teamed up with a number of Baptistic pastors and theologians to bring us Shepherding God’s Flock: Biblical Leadership in the New Testament and Beyond from B&H (2014). This book provides a thorough presentation of Baptist polity while also looking at Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian forms.

Overview

While the book contains 10 chapters and no sections, there are essentially two sections to the book: chapters that address the issues raised theologically and those that handle them historically.

Historically, in chapters five and six Michael Haykin and Gregg Allison address the rise and development of the papacy within the western church (Haykin) and from Leo I to Vatican II (Allison). Both men ably handle the historical development of the papacy and its well-developed polity. Haykin begins at the first few centuries after the establishment of the New Testament church and builds on the early Catholic understanding of Peter’s role and significance as the one upon whom Christ said He would build His church. Gregg Allison picks up where Haykin leaves off (mid 400’s) and walks the reader right through to Vatican II. After all of the historical survey it is concluded of course that the idea of the papacy as a model of church polity is unbiblical and smacks of men grasping for power which is not theirs to have (195-96).

Following these chapters Nathan Finn outlines and critiques the Presbyterian model of church polity and in doing so he touches briefly on its historical development and context. His historical survey is by no means comprehensive but he lays out the relevant data nicely. Of particular focus is the Presbyterian differentiation between teaching and ruling elders and the role of the Jerusalem council in Acts 15.

The final historical chapter addresses the Anglican form of church polity by Jason Duesing. Jason provides an overview of the historical and theological development Anglican polity from the Church of England to the Modern eras. Like the critiques of the Catholic churches view of polity, Duesing concludes that one of the central problems with the Anglican view is that it not see the terms for bishop and elder as interchangeable. (247) Further, like Catholicism, Anglicanism has a dependence on tradition that clouds its ability to see what is revealed in Scripture. (248)

Theologically, this book makes a defense for Baptist polity which defines itself as seeing the terms for bishop and elder as interchangeable, places a different emphasis upon congregational rule, and does not see the events in Acts 15 at the Jerusalem council as paradigmatic for the church today.

The first three chapters lay the ground work for describing the essence of church leadership – the suffering righteous shepherd. This is of course patterned after Christ. So how do we get there?

In the first chapter James Hamilton Jr. compares and contrasts the Old and New Testament qualifications for church leadership. He notes that in the OT the qualifications were not laid out as they are in the NT because of the difference between the covenants and how one is admitted into those covenants. In the OT “elders are never defined and no qualifications are ever given” because “the evidence in the Old Testament indicates that eldership arose from the standing that derives from age and the wisdom and stature that tends to accompany life experiences.” (15, 22) Qualifications for leadership are spelled out in the covenant so separate ones are not needed.

The event that makes the change from the OT to the NT is the “new birth”. The change of structure from Israel to the church initiates the need for specific requirements for church leadership. “This change in what makes people members of the people of God changes the pool of candidates from which the elders will be drawn. The making of converts into disciples introduces people into the congregations who have little or no background in the Torah, resulting in the need for qualifications to be spelled out more explicitly.” (24-25)

From here Hamilton works his way to establishing the pattern of leadership as seen through the suffering righteous shepherd. This is picked up by Andreas Kostenberger in the second chapter as he walks through the Gospels and the life of Jesus to show how He fulfills the suffering shepherd motif. Kostenberger fleshes out three aspects to the shepherding motif: teaching, training, and modeling. (51-57)

In chapter three Benjamin Merkle works through Acts to establish a pattern of leadership by elders. Merkle points out that while the office of elder is not as emphasized in Acts as much as the function, there is a recognizable emphasis on the role of certain believers who are gifted in such as way as to be primarily responsible for the teaching and leading of the churches. (70, 75, 85)

In chapter four Thomas Schreiner addresses the character and role of elders and deacons within the church. While there is a lot of discussion in the Pastoral and General Epistles regarding the teaching ability of elders, “what stands out in the list is the emphasis on character qualities instead of skills.” (95) Schreiner rightly sees a marked difference in the text between the role, and therefore requirements, for deacons and elders. Elders are to be gifted in teaching and leadership while deacons are servants in the church attending to the physical needs. (109-12) In regards to the “wives” mentioned in I Timothy 3:10 Schreiner is under the impression that they are not the wives of male deacons but are in fact women who serve alongside the men as deacons. (111) Later, Bruce Ware echoes the same sentiments when he says, “if Paul is so concerned with the qualifications of the wives of deacons….then why dos he not also propose this same requirement when it comes to elders?” (302) In my mind this has always been the issue for me as well.

Chapter seven by Nathan Finn is one of the best chapters in the book. In it, Finn lays out and critiques the Presbyterian view of elders. Essentially, they make a distinction with the biblical text between teaching and ruling elders. (200) This is grounded in Ephesians 4:11-13 where shepherds and teachers are listed as offices “for building up the body of Christ.” Further, Presbyterians see the Jerusalem meeting in Acts 15 as a prototype for the church in all times. But, as Finn points out, they must make a number of assumptions about the text in order to arrive at this conclusion, namely, that “the decision made by the general assembly is a binding church law rather than a contextual decision for a particular season in redemptive history.” (219)

The final three chapters provide a conclusion to the book in regards to Baptistic understandings on the plurality of elders, Christ as the head of the Church, and the qualifications of elders and deacons.

Conclusion

From start to finish Shepherding God’s Flock is a short (considering the issues covered) but packed book on the nature of Baptist polity. It is excellent in its treatment of the related biblical passages. This is the perfect kind of book to use for college or grad school in teaching this subject. Additionally, its treatment of Catholic, Anglican, and Presbyterian polity from an historical and theological angle are thorough and fair. This book should be in every pastors library.

Going into this book, I was expecting a very practical guide to pastoral ministry. It is not that. That's okay. Just know that going into it. The book is primarily an exegetical and historical/theological survey of leadership in the church, with one (excellent) chapter of application at the end.

The first four chapters examine the biblical theology of leadership. First, the connection between elders in the Old Testament and elders in the New Testament is examined. Then the concept of shepherds is examined in the gospels. Next, two chapters summarize the data concerning church leadership in Acts and the epistles.

Next, two chapters survey the development and continuation of the Papacy. Then Anglican, Presbyterian, and Baptist models of church governance are each given a chapter.

The next chapter provides a very high level survey and synthesis of the Biblical theology, and the final chapter provides excellent practical application to pastors.

In my opinion, three of the essays/chapters stood out as the strongest. First, the essay by Jason Duesing on the history of the Anglican church. He surveyed the history well from a Baptist perspective, providing a brief summary of the denomination as it stands currently with three primary sub-groups: progressive, Anglo-Catholics, and Evangelical. The next strong essay was the survey of the relationship between Baptists and a plurality of elders by Shawn Wright. He helpfully provided answers as to why Baptists have tended to avoid implementing the clear teaching of Scripture that churches should have a plurality of elders. The remaining strong essay was the final chapter by Andrew Davis where he provided several Biblically and spiritually focused challenges to leaders in churches.

This is a helpful book, but understand going into it that its focus is more academic than it is practical (which is unfortunate for a book published under Kregel's "Ministry" arm). Knowing what to expect will help you to get the most out of this book, especially the stronger essays. Also, keep in mind that this book is written from a Baptist perspective. So the ecclesiology that comes out of it is congregational.

[Jon Pentecost · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an edited volume exploring what the role of pastor/elder should be.

Like any edited volume, the chapters range in quality and usefulness.

Hamilton—Explores the question as to whether the office of elder was just borrowed by the church from the synagogue. Unfortunately, his emphasis is so heavily on presenting a case of discontinuity, he does little to explain the reason for the question in the first place, and more importantly, does little to show how the OT informs our view of the office (this is the only chapter that surveys OT).

Köstenberger, Merkel, and Schreiner provide summary chapters on the gospels and acts, Paul’s letters to churches, and the pastoral and General epistles, respectively. These are helpful, but necessarily cursory.

Haykin discusses the beginnings of the papacy in the early church.

Allison covers the papacy through the medieval period up through the 20th Century. While helpful in showing the confusion within the RCC, his critique feels tepid.

Finn discusses a Presbyterian view of elders. His analysis is clear and forthright. He weighs the Presbyterian view against his own Congregationalist convictions in a way that helps the reader weigh it for himself.

Duesing’s analysis of Anglicanism is not as sharp as Finn’s chapter. It tends to treat Anglicanism as simply derivative in its practice from Rome (which is true historically, but perhaps his ability to fully engage with current Anglican arguments for the episcopacy.

Wright provides a fascinating picture of the history of plural elders in baptist life, which helped show that the history is varied and complex.

Ware’s systematic summary is largely excellent, helpful in providing a pastoral theology of pastoring.

And Andy Davis closes it out with a superb meditation on the challenges and blessings of eldering which is probably worth the price of admission on its own.

[Ethan McCreary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pastoral insights from this book were significant. It rallies for a plurality of elders to be laser focused in their shepherding of the sheep (probaton). Also, the historical analysis of Roman Catholicism’s ecclesiology juxtaposed to Baptist ecclesiology was quite helpful.

Main takeaway: Smell like sheep. Don’t settle for the growing number of members, but strive for the number of members who are growing. Every sheep matters. Every single one.

I've always found it interesting that scripture likens the people of God to a flock of sheep. Sheep are defenseless, are not very intelligent and easily panicked. If well-cared for by shepherds who protect, nourish, and do not abuse them, they turn grass into massive quantities of wool. I could spend time on the ways God's people are like sheep, but for the purpose of this review, the more important question is how those who lead God's people are to be like shepherds. Indeed, the term pastor is derived from a term meaning "shepherd".

This book, edited by Benjamin Merkle and Thomas Schreiner, is a collection of articles exploring this question, considering not only the character of those who "shepherd" God's flock but also the structures of leadership that most closely reflect biblical teaching. And it is here that I should give a caveat. It is not apparent either on the cover material or in descriptions of this book, that it is written from a Southern Baptist perspective. All the contributors are either theologians or pastors associated with Southern Baptist institutions and so the book reflects the polity and theological convictions of the Convention, although advocating strongly for plural eldership, which is not necessarily the practice of many Southern Baptist churches which have a single pastor-elder. In particular, all teaching roles are limited to men, while diaconal roles which do not involve teaching are also open to women.

Given that, the contributors nevertheless provide an accessible account of biblical teaching and subsequent church practice around leadership. Whether one agrees with the perspective of the contributors or not, there is much of worth in this volume. It begins by exploring the question of the degree to which the church derived its leadership structures from the synagogue structure of Judaism. While noting the carry-over of elders, it argues that the church usage focuses on spiritual rather than a larger civic role. The next three chapters explore the New Testament teaching on leadership. Particularly in Acts and the Epistles, it argues that the terms "bishop" (or overseer), "elder", and "pastor" all refer to the same person, where elder is the office and pastor and overseer describe the functions of this office. It also notes the precursor to the diaconal role in Acts 6 and the teaching on deacons in the pastorals. And these also substantiate the local rule of congregations with a connectional association, particularly with the Jerusalem church.

Two succeeding chapters provide a history of the papacy, that while not favoring this structure, was more descriptive than critical. Similar treatments follow of Presbyterian, and Anglican forms of church government, each with some critique at the end of the chapters. Then the case is made for the Baptist form of church government, allowing that plural teaching (but not ruling) elders best conforms to scripture, that congregational rule is most biblical, and against any church hierarchy. Bruce Ware then gives a summary theology of church leadership from this perspective followed by a pastoral exhortation by Andrew Davis on the practice of church leadership in today's world.

I found the book helpful for its review of the biblical material and its discussion of church leadership vis a vis the Jewish context out of which the church sprang. The review of leadership through church history was informative and much of the material on the contemporary practice of leadership challenging to live up to, regardless of the context in which one practices leadership--particularly the emphasis on being scripturally informed, patient and yet bold in leadership, and protecting God's flock against attack. This all is a healthy corrective to the excessive attention to business models of leadership given in many church leadership texts.

I do not think the contributors adequately dealt with the argument that church leadership structures were still in formative stages during the period when the New Testament texts were written, or the contention that things written to particular local situations are prescriptive for all time. Nor do they deal with how structures beyond the local congregation played a critical role in articulating and regulating orthodoxy and orthopraxy throughout the church.

This book will be most helpful for those from Baptist-related polities or those who wish to better understand Baptist theology and practice around church leadership. Others can profit from the biblical and historical discussions keeping in mind the bias of the contributors.

One of the role of the pastor is to shepherd his flock. But what does it mean? So far, to my mind, I can think of Shepherds After My Own Heart by Timothy Laniak and Shepherding God's Flock by Jay Adams, which are books related to this topic. However now having read this book, I do think there’s one more worthy book on this topic, though this book is not a book teach you how to shepherd, this is certainly a book that teaches you what it means to be a leader of a church.

Shepherding God’s Flock is a book written by Baptist theologians but it is definitely not just meant for those who belong to the baptism denomination. Two clear strengths can quickly be identified from this book, first, it aims to show the readers what the bible has to say about the church leadership, next it aims to compare and show the differences each denominations has in regards to the structure of how they shepherd their flock.

4 chapters are devoted to finding out what church eldership is according to the bible. One chapter compares the differences between the old testament usage of the word elders, and the new testament definitions of elder. Another chapter was devoted to the gospel, looking at how Jesus shepherded his disciples. The next chapter then focused on Acts and Paul’s letters to the church, while the remaining chapter focused on general epistles and Paul’s pastoral epistles.

In the next section, different denominations are examined in regards to their governance. It was a delightfully surprise to see that this book has also included 2 chapters on the Catholic church. Given the long history of the Catholic church, it was a good decision to spilt this into two separate chapters.

Lastly, three protestant denominations were examined individually, the Anglicans, Presbyterians and the Baptist. These chapters certainly argued for the Baptist position, yet they were able to present the denominations in a fair and accurate way. It was a joy to read through these chapters as they present the history and the structure of the different denominations.

The last 2 chapters then helps the readers to consolidate what has been covered in the book and to practical-ise them. First the theology of church leader is presented, and next some practical advice and suggestions are given to the present leaders.

I found this book to be very informative and helpful in understanding this topic. Even if you are not a baptist, you still can give this book a read. This book would be helpful to young pastors as this is not like a perspectives book, which give you a picture of what different denominations has to say about church leadership, it also packs within it, many biblical truths from the bible to teach the readers what the bible has to say about being a elder.

Towards the end of 2014 I spent some time praying, asking God what areas of growth he wanted me to focus on in 2015. Two areas that came up were 1) Preaching and 2) Shepherding. God wanted me to work on my preaching and communication skills and God wanted me to grow in having a heart that reflects his own compassion for his flock. It almost seemed like perfect timing that Kregel asked me to review Shepherding God’s Flock: Biblical Leadership in the New Testament and Beyond.

Shepherding God’s flock is a collection of essays complied by Benjamin Merkle and Tom Schreiner written by leading pastors and scholars on various issues of church leadership. The book focuses on three areas:

1. Biblical Theology of Shepherding
2. Historical Theology Regarding Shepherding and Ecclesiology
3. Modern and Practical Approaches to Shepherding

Leadership and shepherding in the OT and NT is addressed by James Hamilton, Andreas Kostenberger, Benjamin Merkle and Tom Schreiner. Presbyterian, Anglican, Baptist, and Roman Catholic perspectives and polity structures are addressed by Nathan Finn, Jason Duesing, Shawn Wright, Michael Haykin and Gregg Allison. The modern side of shepherding is addressed by Bruce Ware and Andrew Davis.

This book is definitely written from a Baptist perspective, this means that everything in the book is slightly slanted towards and elder led, congregationally ruled ecclesiology and understanding of the elder’s role. Having a “baptistic” ecclesiology, there is much for me to agree with in this volume, though I do have to admit that I am very sympathetic with Presbyterian localized ecclesiology (teaching elders and ruling elders).

I enjoyed this book very much and I actually learned a ton. The book wasn’t as much about the role of a shepherd – but more so a book about biblical church polity. That is okay, its not what I expected but I certainly appreciated it – especially because my time at Fuller Seminary didn’t include much thinking about polity. (We were focused on other aspects of ecclesiology.) Overall this is a fantastic collection of essays. I honestly believe that this will become an indispensible textbook for any class on ecclesiology or church structures. I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up using this book as a textbook in the future. It includes everything one would want from a textbook for an eldership/church polity class – it has biblical material, historical-theology material, and practical material.

[Doug Hibbard · Rating 4 out of 5]

Shepherding God’s Flock is a hard book to classify. It’s densely-packed with theology and history. At times, it reads like more like a textbook than a professional development resource. Overall, the eleven contributors build somewhat on each other’s work, but each chapter can also stand alone.

In summary, this book addresses the theological development of church leadership. This includes historical factors, keeping in mind that “history” often falls as part of “theology” in the Christian academic world. History tells us how God worked, after all, so the two are connected.

The method of construction for this book is that various scholars wrote about church leadership from their particular strength point. Therefore one gets James Hamilton’s view of how Old Testament and Synagogue imprints carried into church leadership and Michael A.G. Haykin deals with the Apostolic Fathers until the solidification of the Papacy.

That is certainly a strength. And as a Baptist myself, I do not find a problem with the Baptist-flavored viewpoint of each chapter. If you are a convictional Presbyterian, reading Shepherding God’s Flock will help you better understand the Baptist viewpoint and hopefully challenge your thinking.

A weakness? I think that, as a result of the multiple contributor method, there may be some overlap and duplication from one chapter to the next. Rather than treating a specific issue as settled, it may be raised again later. That’s not awful, it just leads to thinking “Haven’t I already read this?”

Further, while I the depth and density of the work has been a good challenge to my reading, I would definitely put this more in the “textbook” category. The focused attention it takes to make sense of it all might be a challenge for a harried, distracted active minister. It would be of value, but it might not be accessible enough for him.

In all, as a training and development tool, this is a valuable addition to the shelf.

AND IT HAS FOOTNOTES! YAY!

A very helpful study of Elders and Shepherding. The variety of articles on the New Testament, Church History, and contemporary practice are enlightening. I was disappointed by the narrow focus on only main-line groups in the USA. The Editors may have benefited from exploring Churches of Christ/Christian Churches whose take on plural, elder-led churches would benefit their discussion and tensions of leadership formats. These groups have consistently resolved some of the issues of the pastor v. elder debate in wide-spread implementation for over 100 years. Otherwise, I think this is a book most church leaders should read and reflect on — especially in regards to the primary chapters on the biblical data.

[Evan Climpson · Rating 4 out of 5]

As noted in the book, Merkle and Schreiner assembled a quality set of scholars to write brief essays (turned into chapters) for this book. The bulk of the book is spent examining both the biblical discussion on church leadership and the history of interpretations of church leadership (Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Baptist). The last two chapters serve as a nice conclusion, integrating the biblical and historical information into practical steps for living out biblical leadership. This is a fine book that I enjoyed reading.
