Authenticity is a popular, but overworked word, and liable to be devalued in meaning. Ajith Fernando’s excellent booklet is a sorely-needed corrective that cuts straight to the heart of biblical authenticity.
He explores this theme clearly, and in terms of servant leadership, pulling no punches in underlining its cost. We ought to embrace the cross of suffering not only in self-denial, but in bearing the burdens of others; not through the clenched teeth of duty, but with joy.
