When a leader misuses power, they have misunderstood and misrepresented God and the gospel. This volume addresses the key underlying issue of what a biblical and healthy use of power in the church actually looks like. Authors from a variety of Christian backgrounds and traditions help frame a biblical and theological understanding and practice of power use, describe what it looks like when things go wrong (and how to recognize the signs), and suggest how the contemporary church can and must do better in this area. This book is a rigorously grounded biblical challenge to much contemporary practice. It is a call to reformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction: Why Another Book on Power and Why Now? \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Stirling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImitating the Mindset of Christ\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Stirling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConfessions of a Potential Authoritarian: Knowing the Trinity as Antidote to Pastoral Authoritarianism\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJared Michelson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"You must not do as they do . . . \" Old Testament Israel's Distinctive Patterns of Leadership\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChris Wright\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSin and Why We Need to Take It More Seriously\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNick Mackison\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Power of the Imago Dei and the Imago Dei in Power\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Meynell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymbolic Capital and the Dynamics of Leadership: The Gospel and the Idolatry of Status\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrant Macaskill\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse, Not Abuse: An Augustinian Approach to Loving People\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGraham Shearer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a Church Becomes a Cult: Twenty-Five Years On\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSteve Wookey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cost of Brokenness\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlythe Sizemore\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthoritative, \u003ci\u003eNot \u003c\/i\u003eAuthoritarian\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSam Allberry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Our First Love Is Loving to Be First\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChris Green\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMentors, Not Masters\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarcus Honeysett\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf God and God-Men\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSushila Ailawadi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePastors Empowering Women to Flourish\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTasha Chapman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigns and Symptoms of Unhealthy Leaders and Their Systems\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Stirling \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: That No Bruised Reed Is Ever Broken\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Meynell \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Stirling directs the Chalmers Institute and teaches at Highland Theological College, Scotland.
