El poder tiene un rol dado por Dios en las relaciones humanas e instituciones, pero puede llevar al abuso cuando se usa de manera incorrecta. Este libro habla a las conversaciones actuales #yo también y #la iglesia también y muestra que el cuerpo de Cristo necesita desesperadamente entender las formas que toma el poder, cómo el poder es abusado y cómo responder a los abusos de poder.
Redeeming Power
Power has a God-given role in human relationships and institutions, but it can lead to abuse when used in unhealthy ways. Speaking into current #MeToo and #ChurchToo conversations, this book shows that the body of Christ desperately needs to understand the forms power takes, how it is abused, and how to respond to abuses of power. Although many Christians want to prevent abuse in their churches and organizations, they lack a deep and clear-eyed understanding of how power actually works. Internationally recognized psychologist Diane Langberg offers a clinical and theological framework for understanding how power operates, the effects of the abuse of power, and how power can be redeemed and restored to its proper God-given place in relationships and institutions. This book not only helps Christian leaders identify and resist abusive systems but also shows how they can use power to protect the vulnerable in their midst.
