Böcker av James Beaty

In Paying the Pastor, Beaty argues that traditional practices of paying clergy are not supported by the Bible and are therefore unscriptural. He challenges the prevalent belief that pastors should receive a full-time salary, and instead contends that the biblical model is for pastors to be bivocational or receive voluntary donations.
