Servants and Fools by Arthur Boers
Leadership is a much-discussed topic. What does it actually mean for us as Christians? Does Christian leadership have its own distinctive shape and character? In Servants and Fools, A Biblical Theology of Leadership, Arthur Boers examines Jesus's pattern of leadership. Boers shows how this pattern is rooted in service and sacrifice, is cautious about power and hierarchies, and prioritizes the vulnerable. In other words, it often reverses what we expect of leadership, and is different from what we read in most leadership literature. Servants and Fools is a unique resource for students and practitioners across denominations. It offers a foundational perspective on leadership and guidance for practical application in the reader's daily life and ministry.Arthur Boers holds the R. J. Bernardo Family Chair of Leadership at Tyndale Seminary (Toronto, Canada). He previously taught pastoral theology at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (Elkhart, Indiana). A Benedictine oblate, he served for over sixteen years as a Mennonite pastor in rural, urban, and church-planting settings in the United States and Canada. He has written or co-written six books, including The Way is Made by Walking: A Pilgrimage Along the Camino de Santiago (InterVarsity, 2007), reflecting on an 800-kilometer pilgrimage that he walked in Spain; Never Call Them Jerks: Healthy Responses to Difficult Behavior (Alban, 1999) and Take Our Moments and Our Days, volumes one and two and Day by Day These Things We Pray: Uncovering Ancient Rhythms of Prayer (all from Herald Press).
