My questions are more focused on the mediation that takes place through the minister on behalf of the people to God and then on behalf of God to the people (I’m not sure of the concise phrase to use).
Dr. Godfrey references this the following article under the heading, A Spiritual Conversation:
https://www.the-highway.com/worship_Godfrey.htmlI’ve also heard him reference it in a podcast but I haven’t found much information specifically on this part of corporate worship.
1. Do you know of any articles or books about this element of corporate worship?
2. From a Biblical perspective, I assume it’s drawn primarily from the role of Moses and Aaron to the people in the Old Testament. Is that correct or is more generally derived from the role of the priest under the Old Covenant?
3. Related to question 2, is Paul’s qualifications for Overseers in 1 Timothy 3 derived from that role? In other words, is there anything in the dialogue the minister participates in on behalf of the people that further enforces the need for the minister to be a male?
