Does Christian leadership have its own distinctive shape and character? In Servants and Fools, Arthur Boers examines Jesus’ pattern of leadership. Boers shows how this pattern is rooted in service and sacrifice, is cautious about power and hierarchies, and prioritizes the vulnerable. In other words, it often reverses what we expect of leadership and is different from what we read in most leadership literature.

This book is a unique resource for students and practitioners across denominations. It offers a foundational perspective on leadership and guidance for practical application in the reader’s daily life and ministry.
