"Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:11 that Christ set the Church the role of the apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher. Volumes have been written about Paul the apostle. Much less has been written, however, about how versatile he was in filling the other roles. In this small volume, noted author Robert Banks seeks to fill these lacuna. In doing so, he demonstrates how amazingly gifted and flexible Paul was. In the Introduction, Banks noted, that """"rather than being a """"ministry specialist"""" Paul was what we might call a 'general practitioner'. His versatility in this area was important, as it enabled him to model to his converts the basic forms of ministry that needed to continue after he had moved on. Only so, with the help of the Spirit, would their communities be able to grow to maturity and impact their societies in a distinctive way."""""
