THE MINISTRY OF THE LAITY : A Biblical Exposition
Ayres, Francis O.
Westminster Press, 1962
136 pages

Along with Hendrick Kraemer’s A Theology of the Laity (see reviews), this book has served as a foundation for much of the discussion on the laity. Ayres argues that ministry is the responsibility of every Christian. He even defines maturity in terms of fulfilling one’s ministry. The first half of the book discusses the calling, freedom, commission and gifting of the minister; the second half outlines how ministry can be fulfilled by every Christian.
