Publisher's Description
Leadership, especially Christian leadership, is a subject that needs clear, biblical, theological, and contextual thinking. There is no "one size fits all" model of leadership that will work in every context. Senior's effort in working out the apostle Paul's leadership principles in Malaysia, with its multicultural, multiethnic, and multireligious contexts, is commendable. This book will surely serve as a catalyst toward additional research and critical thinking on issues faced by the church in Malaysia.

“Roger Senior’s lucid and rigorous examination of the biblical evidence confirms that, though there is no single New Testament blueprint for structures of church governance, there is a consistent emphasis on the need for all patterns of Christian leadership to reflect the servant mind of Christ. Hence, whilst there is ample scope for contextualising models of leadership to suit particular cultural contexts, no style of leadership that exalts its own authority can claim to be authentically Christian. This book will be of wide interest – well beyond the Malaysian context in which its arguments are set.”
