Patterns of Ministry Among the First Christians
This new edition of Patterns of Ministry Among the First Christians tells the story of how the first Christian leaders emerged and, with the passing of time, developed. The book includes sections on Jesus and Paul and their understanding of Christian leadership, on bishops, deacons, elders, apostles, prophets, and teachers, and on ordination. The focus is primarily on the first century but historical development is noted. The author also discuses the ways the New Testament may speak to the present.

A Good Source on Christian Leadership.
Giles presents a well-defined and thoroughly-researched thesis on what biblical leadership looked like and how it changed without the first three centuries of Christianity. I'm study this book as part of my MA studies on contemporary leadership.
