{"product_id":"theology-of-authority","title":"Theology of Authority","description":"Is authority reserved for those with a specific calling to leadership? Who holds power in the church? Does authority have limits? Are teaching and preaching the most important practices of authority?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur understanding--and misunderstanding--of authority has significant implications for our individual and corporate flourishing. In \u003ci\u003eA Theology of Authority\u003c\/i\u003e, Christa McKirland challenges our assumptions about authority, power, and leadership.

She also tackles questions related to divine and human authority, Scripture, and practices typically related to ordination: preaching, teaching, serving communion, baptizing, church discipline, and vision casting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Theology of Authority\u003c\/i\u003e expands our understanding of authority, recognizing the Spirit's enablement of each member to fulfill their calling to spiritual maturity. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of authority and power and how we relate to one another as siblings in Christ.","brand":"Baker Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55283360629080,"sku":"9781540968166","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781540968166_4d785a07-6db6-4b4d-aa15-aeeb9b3c505a.jpg?v=1779864317","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/theology-of-authority","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
