LIBERATING THE LAITY : Equipping All the Saints for Ministry
Stevens, R. Paul
InterVarsity Press, 1985
177 pages

“Every church has far more work than any one person can do,” writes Stevens. “The New Testament solution was for every member to be a minister.” This is more than a utilitarian solution; it is the essence of “the priesthood of all believers,” a doctrine central to the Protestant Reformation. Stevens tells how it took a recent five-year experience as a carpenter for him to understand (1) the reality of the layperson’s world, (2) the importance of the nine-to-five life and (3) the centrality of the “equipping” function of the church.
