This manual provides an overview of key biblical and legal principles that office-bearers in the church (pastors, elders, deacons) should consider as they work on behalf of the church. Chapters include information on decision-making in the church, reporting to the state, the church as employer, dealing with finances, counseling and abuse issues, discipline, and speaking out publicly.

Setting a big-picture framework, Church and Caesar will help elders and deacons manage the matters before them more informatively and judiciously.
