요약 : The aim of this work is to establish the New Testament teaching on the authority of eiders in the church. The primary source material is the New Testament and the methodology is inductive. The first step is to establish the original meaning of each relevant passage according to its context. Second, based on the exegesis, historical examples and timeless principles relevant to the authority of eiders are identified from each passage. These two steps comprise the majority of this dissertation, chapters two through six. The final step is to synthesize the examples and principles from the selected passages into a theology of the authority of church elders.

요약 : The criteria for selecting New Testament passages for consideration are as follows: (1) Passages are included that make reference to elders in the Christian community. (2) Passages are included that contain concepts of human authority within the Christian community. (3) Passages are included that contain concepts of human leadership within the Christian community. (4) Passages are included that contain concepts of decision making within the Christian community. Passages are identified as falling into these categories based on selected semantic domains from J. P. Louw and E. A. Nida's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament: Based on Semantic Domains. The primary passages included for research in this dissertation based on the four criteria are Matt 16:13-20; 18:15–20; 20:25–28; 23:8–12; Mark 10:42–45; Luke 22:24–27; Acts 6:1–6; 11:27–30; 14:23; 15:1–35; 16:4; 20:17, 28–35; 21:17–26; 1 Cor 5:1–13; 6:1–8; 14:26–35; 16:15–16; 2 Cor 8:19; 9:7; Eph 4:11–16; Phil 1:1; 1 Thess 5:12–13; 1 Tim 2:8–15; 3:1–7; 4:14; 5:17–25; Titus 1:5–16; Heb 13:7, 17, 24; Jas 5:13–18; and 1 Pet 5:1–5.
초록/해제  
요약 : Since the English word authority has several possible meanings, an effort is made to establish a clear definition of authority and how it will be used in this work. One helpful way to understand authority is to see its use as falling into one of two categories reflecting its nature. These two categories may be called authority de jure and authority de facto. Authority de jure is authority by right or according to law, while authority de facto is authority in actual existence or possession.
초록/해제  
요약 : The thesis of this work, based on exegetical and theological investigations, is that a body of elders has authority to care for a local congregation primarily through leadership and teaching. This thesis may also be explained more explicitly using the semantic distinctions made above. (1) Elders have authority de jure in that they hold a particular position that carries with it certain rights (which may be better described as responsibilities). (2) Among the responsibilities of elders is leadership, but not government or control, in the sense of authority to make decisions for the church. (3) Elders do not have authority de facto in the sense of power to enforce their will upon the church. (4) The elders of the church should have authority de facto of personal influence based on respect that is earned in accordance with the character, skill, and knowledge prescribed in Scripture for elders (1 Tim 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9), without which their authority de jure is made void. (5) Elders are to lead as a group by consensus, without a lead elder who has more decision making power among the elders.
