“The Christian Ministry According to the Apostles,” originally published in Edinburgh in 1858, and republished in 2013 by Gary Maske, is a comprehensive treatment of the ministry that acknowledges—not just in theory, but in practice—the priesthood of believers. Rather then simply debunking clericalism, formalism, and ecclesiasticism, Mr. Milner sets forth positive doctrine. In the process the author abolishes pretensions after the manner of the apostle Paul. This is the Christian ministry taught and practiced by the apostles, designed by the Head of the church, Jesus Christ.
