Embracing Authority

The Challenge of Living God's Way in God's World

John A. Kitchen

  • /

Description

One of the characteristics of modern society is antagonism towards authority. Christians should not be surprised at this but what are we to do about it?

Endorsements

"...a perceptive and accurate analysis of contemporary culture together with a robust challenge to the church."

William Taylor
Minister, St. Helen's Bishopsgate, London

"...a thoroughly counter-cultural, transformingly revolutionary, and deeply Christian re-appraisal of the good and wise gift of God-ordained authority structures. Kitchen calls us back to submit to God's mandate of submission and authority in all, but in only, the ways God has designed for his glory and for our highest well being and joy."

Bruce Ware
Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky & author of ‘Big Truths for Young Hearts’

"I heartily commend Dr. John Kitchen's thoughtful and unique treatise. I do not know of any book just like this ...eminently Scriptural, relentlessly practical and very well written. I wholeheartedly recommend it."

David L. Larsen
Professor Emeritus of Preaching, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois

"As a resident of a planet thoroughly saturated with self-centeredness run amok, I can think of few topics needing to be discussed more than that of authority. ...immensely readable and practical, this book offers an excellent model of how one must analyse and synthesize biblical theology and apply it to life."

Donald Hamilton
Stephen F. Olford Professor of Preaching, Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina

"...spiritually and intellectually stimulating. The essence of leadership is captured in the volume and should be considered by all aspiring to the role."

Gary Benedict, President, Crown College, St. Bonifacius, Minnesota
