Unmasking the Angel

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Church communities are often complex. Steve Langford creates a helpful dialogue between Walter Wink and three historical case studies of congregations to offer a fascinating, sobering, and inspiring way for navigating those complexities more faithfully and attentively. This book is grounded, erudite, measured, lucid, and ultimately hopeful. As a pastor theologian, Langford offers a theological imaginary for approaching challenges that might bewilder ministers and church leaders at times, reframing them in a way that envisions them as opportunities for possible transformation or, if not, for death and resurrection.”
