The subject of what an '''apostle''' is and what qualifications are required is very controversial today. It is the prevalent view among evangelicals today that the office of apostle has ceased. However, there are a number of Bible-believing churches that still operate the office of apostle. I will argue that the office is appropriate for the Church today.
There are other Christians, however, who would say that although we cannot accept the sort of apostles who wrote scripture, believing the canon of scripture to be completely closed, there would seem to be a strong biblical case for apostles of the same nature as Barnabas, Timothy and Silas.
