| Description: | Clergy Transition "It is clear that the church is in a crisis of leadership, tempted either to authoritarianism or to abdicating 'democracy' Many ministers are 'on the run,' bewildered by the kinds of leadership now required in and accepted by the church. Hahn has written a probing, suggestive book, exploring fresh categories through which to think about the exercise of authority that is personally healthy, theologically faithful, and politically effective. While she pays some attention to biblical, theological, and psychological learnings, the primary 'stuff' of the book is reflection upon concrete experiences of 'growth in authority.' "Hahn is fully aware of the difficulties in exercising authority, and is shrewd in discerning the tensions present in any such leadership. Her urgings a posture of integration that attends to differences in men and women, that interfaces office and person, and that holds promise of new energy. The book will be important, as it invites a new conversation about authority." Walter Brueggemann |
