Serving with Power

Description: Is Christian ministry in a state of crisis today? What is the nature of the crisis? How does it relate to the imperatives and challenges of the proclamation of the Gospel today and the extension of the ministry of Jesus Christ himself? What constitutes faithful and obedient servanthood today? What are the new frontiers? Is there a radically new spirituality that can reshape and transform the lives of those called to minister in God's world in this age? These are some of the issues with which Kortright Davis attempts to wrestle in this scholarly yet pastoral conversation with the Church and the world. Serving With Power explores the power of God's Word and Spirit in an attempt to shape a new spirituality of Christian ministry in the new millennium. Endorsements: ""This volume will be very rewarding spiritual reading for the busy priest or pastoral minister.
