Shepherds in an Era of Division

Tim Alberta’s The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory and Megan Basham’s Shepherds for Sale explore the ways evangelical leaders and congregations have responded to an era of social and political division in America. Both books, though flawed in important ways, reveal an urgent need for evangelicals to think deeply about ecclesiology, discipleship, and a sanctified and renovated Christian imagination.

Abstract

Tim Alberta’s The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory and Megan Basham’s Shepherds for Sale explore the ways evangelical leaders and congregations have responded to an era of social and political division in America. Both books, though flawed in important ways, reveal an urgent need for evangelicals to think deeply about ecclesiology, discipleship, and a sanctified and renovated Christian imagination.
