Gene Edwards challenges one of the most entrenched traditions in modern Christianity: the role of the professional pastor.

Gene Edwards offers a provocative examination of the early church, highlighting a time when leadership was entirely in the hands of ordinary believers—non-professionals without titles, theological degrees, or ecclesiastical authority.

He argues that the church’s earliest years were marked by simplicity, spontaneity, and a deep dependency on Christ as the true head of the body.

The reason for this book: to bring to us a totally new beginning for the body of Christ. Gene Edwards challenges the long-held evangelical ideal of restoring a so-called "New Testament church" by reconstructing its biblical elements.

The cross, suffering, transformation, and God's ultimate purpose are the issues that unfold in this unique book by Gene Edwards.
