This study guide, when used as a complement to the 2024 edition of the Biblical Eldership text, provides a vigorous and thorough program for elder training. The guide leads the student through each chapter of the text and provides thought-provoking questions that can be used by individuals or in small groups. The Biblical Eldership: Study Guide is designed primarily for group study with facilitation by an experienced teaching or mentoring elder. A companion volume, the Biblical Eldership: Teacher’s Manual, is available to assist the group facilitator and to ensure that the questions are answered consistent with the book. Please use this valuable tool for ensuring biblical accuracy. Most of the questions require the student to grapple with the texts of Scripture.
