Summary This book offers a clear, thoughtful portrait of early Christian understandings of leadership and compares Luke's presentation of Jesus' model of leadership and Paul's self-portrait in 1 Thessalonians. It identifies parallel ideas and shows how close Luke and Paul are in their understanding of how Christian leaders are to lead
