Hello everyone,

I am currently taking a course on ARP polity at RTS and we have a recommended book on our reading list that is out of print.
The book is Theories of eldership: a study in Presbyterian polity by Lee Irons. Does anyone know how I could pick up a copy of this book? If anyone has a copy to sell I would love to take it off their hands.

Doctrinal truth should be preached always, openly, without compromise, and never dissembled or concealed. There is no offence in it; it is the staff of uprightness.
~Martin Luther~

Who is teaching that class at RTS?

Sorry. I normally try to point people to Bookfinder.com, but I already checked there and found nothing.

It doesn't come up on Worldcat; that means no libraries on Worldcat have it; why would someone suggest a book that is not really possible to get?

The Regulative Principle: The Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference” (Samuel Miller).

Try contacting Irons himself for a digital copy of that work. I'd like to have a copy of that work myself, for the Historical Center's files.

There is a copy of the book on reserve in the library but I wanted a copy of my own since it was so highly recommended by our teacher.

-----Added 9/11/2009 at 08:50:06 EST-----

Yes. He is a dedicated proponet of Dr. Kline's Biblical Theology.

Thank you. The hunt continues then.

I will contact him and let you know if I was able to obtain a copy.

I know Ken! Good guy.

It is possible that this is an unpublished manuscript.

Irons used to have an article on that topic on his website. It has not been there (as far as I can tell) since he has redesigned it. The best bet is probably writing to him.
