Publisher Description The modern church is immersed in a competitive, polarized, and status-driven society. Its hard to have conversations about important issues when so many are defensive and unwilling to learn. Too often, Christians fall into these same traps. The health and witness of the church urgently depend on recovering an essential biblical virtue: humility.New Testament scholar Dennis R. Edwards illuminates humility as a, if not the, distinctive identity marker of followers of Jesus. Tracing the theme throughout Scripture, he demonstrates how true humility is grounded in submission to God and becomes manifest in all areas of life. Edwards defuses common misconceptions about humility and explores its role in Christian community, conflict, leadership, suffering, worship, and stewardship.As we learn from and honor the humble instead of the power-hungry, humility paradoxically empowers Gods people—including those who are often marginalized. Filled with stories from the authors ministry experience, Humility Illuminated addresses common areas of leadership failure and how to avoid them, applies biblical texts on humility to multiethnic ministry and justice work, and issues a compelling challenge to the church.Biblical humility is not a tactic, and its not just "being nice." Its a revolutionary path to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Author Biography Dennis R.
