New Book: Developing Redemptive Change Agents

Summary

Martin Luther began a 16th century revolution by declaring “the priesthood of all believers,” which reshaped the understanding political responsibility. Now, in the 21st century, the term “redemptive change agent” offers a refreshing vision of Christian discipleship that can help societies experience the renewing potential and power of the gospel. Bob Osburn introduces the idea of the redemptive change agent, their attributes, and core practices including the processes by which they are developed, the strategies they employ, and the risks they face. Case studies of notable historical redemptive change agents, including William Wilberforce, Charles Colson, and James Yen, among others, bring the concept to life.
