Craig Van Gelder continues to track and contribute to the expanding missional church conversation, inviting today's brightest minds in the field to speak to key questions concerning the church. This volume - the third book in the Eerdmans Missional Church series - explores in depth how this theological understanding of the church relates to the practical formation of leadership for congregations.
The essayists engage in thorough critique and analysis of both theological education and the current leadership formation practices of congregations. They also draw deeply on biblical and theological foundations, especially Trinitarian, to inform the conversation.
