Journal Article
THE AUTHORITY OF DEACONS IN PAULINE CHURCHES
2021
Overview
The New Testament office of deacon is disputed primarily because of the paucity of information. Consequently, many look to the following in order to determine the role of deacons in the church: (1) the lexical meaning of ... and its cognates (... and ...); (2) the function of the Seven in Acts 6:1-6; and (3) the qualifications for deacons in 1 Timothy 3:8-13. Additionally, one's view of the role of women in ministry can influence how one perceives the function and authority of deacons. This essay argues that deacons held an official and authoritative, yet nonessential and subordinate, position in the Pauline churches. I support this thesis by considering: (1) the official title of deacons; (2) the official.function of deacons; (3) the official qualifications of deacons; and (4) the official.period of testing and honorable standing of deacons.
