40 Questions About Elders and Deacons

C. Michael Patton at Parchment in Pen prints the questions asked in each of the “40 Questions about…” series.  Just as we have featured 40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible (here) and 40 Questions About Christians and Biblical Law (here), we now feature 40 Questions About Elders and Deacons.  The questions answered are:

• Were the ancient manuscripts of the Bible transmitted accurately?
• Who determined what books would be included in the Bible?
• Why is biblical interpretation important?
• How has the Bible been interpreted throughout church history?
• What are some general principles for interpreting the Bible? (Part 1 and 2)
• How can I improve as an interpreter of the Bible?
• Do all the commands of the Bible apply today?
