Synopsis

Christian leader - business manager or servant? Leading by Example mines the practical theology of 1 Peter to uncover vital lessons for Christian leadership today. Graham Houston criticizes the trend in recent books to relate contemporary management theories to church leadership. He explores 1 Peters exposé of the problem of authoritarianism in the early church, and its development of an alternative model of servant leadership. Houston blends insights from current New Testament scholarship, sociology, theology, psychology and from years of Christian ministry to allow the ancient biblical text to address our current situations afresh. He challenges us to look away from apparent western success stories for examples to follow, and rather to look to the apparent fringes of Gods work in todays two-thirds world. Leading by Example is essential reading for any who want to see how the biblical text can help Christian leaders serve the purposes of God in a more Christ-like and radical way.
