A Theology of Authority Rethinking Leadership in the Church Christa L. McKirland

McCall, Asbury Theological Seminary “This book is a gift to the church today, offering a sure foundation for discus- sions of ministry roles and responsibilities that will move the tired conversa- tion forward to ensure that our churches—and all their members—can flourish.” —Carmen Joy Imes, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
