Christian Egalitarian Leadership: Empowering the Whole Church According to the Scriptures (House of Prisca and Aquila)

Much has been written on servant leadership but it is not always tied to egalitarian leadership. Sometimes authority and power instead of Gods love are presented as the core of the Christian faith. The church at times derails imitating worldly culture emphasizing entitlement that relies on an innate or permanent human hierarchy of rank. Responding to todays conflict over leadership Christian Egalitarian Leadership calls us back to its biblical roots: what is Christian egalitarian leadership? Why is it biblical? How does it work? Thoughtful and devout Christian leaders carefully explain how sharing leadership follows Gods intentions and is crucial to implement today. The theoretical and practical ramifications of these concepts are extended to many areas of the Christian life by numerous qualified individuals women and men of different races and economic and social classes.
