HOLLAND, MI (March 18, 2014) — Articles by six Covenanters are included in the recently published two-volume Religious Leadership: A Reference Handbook, including one of its co-editors Kyle Small, associate dean and associate professor of church leadership at Western Theological Seminary and ordained Covenant minister.
The 824-page book includes 100 articles that explore religious leadership in the United States. Among the themes are contextualizing leadership in faith communities, leadership as taught in theological education and training, and how religious leadership impacts social change. Topics are examined from multiple perspectives, traditions, and faiths…
Al Tizon, co-president of Evangelicals for Social Action, and Tim King, chief strategy officer at Sojourners, each present case studies of religious leaders.
The book represents increasing academic interest in the particulars of religious leadership, which Small says has received a paucity of attention until recent years.
