"Equipping" Ministry in Ephesians 4?

"Equipping" Ministry in Ephesians 4?

  • Semi-Technical
  • T. David Gordon

Can the function of the ordained ministry be reduced to "equipping saints" for service? Ephesians 4:11-12 is often read in that way. The question is therefore whether Ephesians 4:12 teaches that the "ministry of the Church" is done by the "saints" and the only distinctive role of the officers is to equip the saints for such service. The article, through a presentation of a translation and exegesis of these verses in context, argues against such a view.
