Leading the Church

THE ARGUMENT

One conviction, returned to for four decades.

The teaching begins from a single conviction: that Scripture, read carefully and applied without sentiment, is sufficient for the renewal of a continent — not a supplement to development policy, but its foundation.

From there the work moves outward in a consistent order. Identity first, because a people who misread who they are will misread everything else. Then the Church, as the body charged with carrying the argument. Then doctrine, leadership, stewardship, and the daily formation that makes any of it durable.

The through-line is capacity. Every book asks the same practical question in a different register: what has already been given, and what is being done with it?
