Eddie Gibbs writes: ‘In our post-Christendom, postmodern culture we need a new kind of leader’. Anyone familiar with emerging church literature will recognise the key words included there (and the similarity to Brian McClaren’s trilogy, A New Kind of Christian).
This book takes on board the concerns of the emerging church ‘conversation’ (as it likes to be called in preference to being labelled a ‘movement’) that we need a new embodiment of church life for a new historical setting. A previous book examined this area (Church Next, with Ian Coffey). As the title suggests the current book examines the changes needed for church leadership.
