Reviews for Power, Service, Humility
"Few have approached this topic with the exegetical insight and theological depth that Reinhard Feldmeier manifests in this volume. Writing with clarity and passion, he provides readers with an ethic that reveals the paradoxical relationship between power, service, and humility in the New Testament."
