Description
Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates and the forms it takes, and how it can be restored to its God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems, and shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst. The body of Christ desperately needs a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works, particularly in the context of current conversations around #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Langberg's work provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and address the abuse of power in their own lives and in their communities. By exploring the nature of power and its potential for abuse, Langberg provides a practical guide for Christian leaders and individuals seeking to create healthier and more just relationships and institutions.
