Synopsis

Social historian and pastor Joe Hellerman addresses issues of power and authority in the Churchin the New Testament and in the Church todayin a fresh, culturally nuanced way. The local Church, Hellerman maintains, should be led and taught by a community of leaders who relate to one another first as brothers and sisters in Christ, and who function only secondarilyand only within the parameters of that primary relational contextas vision-casting, decision-making leaders for the broader Church family. Unique among contemporary treatments of servant leadership, Hellerman interprets the biblical materials against the background of ancient Roman cultural values, in order to demonstrate a social context for ministry that will provide healthy checks and balances on the use of pastoral power and authority in our congregations.
