The Concept of Executive Pastors

Dennis McFadden at His Barking Dog talks about the concept of an "Executive Pastor" in an interesting article at his blog (link). I found particularly apt his comments that:

Generally you can determine the statistical probability of a church having an Executive Pastor based on whether the senior pastor has more books by Francis Turretin or George Barna in his personal library. Turretin is a dead giveaway that this is NOT a place where you will find an Executive Pastor.

How true that is! And one could swap in John Owen, Thomas Boston, or Thomas Manton as well.
