Opis

Research into the field of religious leadership in relation to Christian identity is highly complex. What is meant by religious leadership? What do we really mean if we talk about Christian identity? And most of all, what is the implied relationship between religious leadership and Christian identity? Is there a necessary substantial relation between both? If so, how has leadership contributed in the past to Christian identity and how will it in the contemporary context stimulate a Christian identity? This book explores and addresses such questions. Doris Nauer teaches theology at the University of Tbingen, Germany. Rein Nauta is professor of psychology of religion at the Tilburg University, The Netherlands. Henk Witte teaches theology at the Tilburg University, The Netherlands.
