{"product_id":"9781938480157","title":"The Pastor Has No Clothes: Moving from Clergy-Centered Church to Christ Centered Ekklesia","description":"\u003cp\u003eProtestantism carries on with the practice of making the \"pastor\" the focal point in church. In \u003cem\u003eThe Pastor Has No Clothes\u003c\/em\u003e, Jon Zens demonstrates that putting all the ecclesiastical eggs in the pastor's basket has no precedent in the New Testament. Using 1 Corinthians 12:14, Zens shows the usual way of doing church contradicts Paul's self-evident remark that \"the body indeed is not one part\" and then goes on to unfold from that Epistle how the living church functions \"with many parts.\" Jon dismembers the traditional pastor doctrine from various angles by combining two new essays and a response to Eugene Peterson's \u003cem\u003eThe Pastor: A Memoir\u003c\/em\u003e, with three past articles and excerpts from his response to Dr. Ben Witherington's review of \u003cem\u003ePagan Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quoir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154395316464,"sku":"9781938480157","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781938480157_p0.jpg?v=1763666878","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781938480157","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
