02168 – Christian Leaders & Christian Traditions
Gushee, David P.

Deepening our sensitivity to the historical nature of Christian tradition and the mediating role of Christian leaders can help us think much more clearly about our realities and responsibilities today.

We can situate ourselves within the flow of Christian history, better understand where our particular version of Christianity fits within the broader tradition, and think seriously about what the responsible transmission of Christian faith to the next generation ought to look like.
