To show how authority came to be shared among the institutions of Church, book and bishop, this work offers vignettes drawn from the first seven centuries of Christian clerical life that reflect the struggle to devise management strategies to resolve theological, political and social conflict.
I had the writer of this book as a professor,and though a book could never capture the energy of his lectures, it came pretty close. This is a book written by a guy who really knows what he is talking about. I highly recommend it.
