Lewis is a compelling writer, has full command of the subject, and wants churches to thrive and they just might do so if they knew this ancient wisdom. * Kathleen A. Cahalan, Professor of Practical Theology, St, Johns Seminary * "[ This volume] will be scripturally edifying and of practical help to readers with interest and responsibility in pastoral ministry and congregational leadership. A very important thing about this approach, in the current climate where there is so much emphasis on 'leadership'much of it lacking scriptural and theological mooringis that it places the emphasis where Paul does: on the Christian body as represented in the congregation, and its shared practices of wisdom, not on the gifts of one individual. * Ellen Davis, Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology, Duke Divinity School *
