Ministry in the Church
In this survey of ministry in the church, Paul Bernier offers a comprehensive, engaging perspective on the development of Christian ministry. He shows how this development came about in response to specific social or cultural needs, and discourages placing blame for practices promulgated in good faith and for the common good. This book well illustrates the fluidity and form of Christian ministry, and its place both in and outside the institutional Church. It is an excellent resource for adult education, as well as for pastoral ministers seeking to broaden their understanding of their roles.

This book really made me stop and think about the Church and ministry as we know it today. Superbly written, it is a book of which my only real critique is the relative lack of attention paid to the meaningful influences made by the religious priesthood or lay movements. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in acquiring a solid foundation of history in preparation for having a meaningful dialogue about the status of the Church and ministry today.
