Tracing humility through Scripture, Dennis Edwards addresses common areas of leadership failure, applies biblical texts on humility to multiethnic ministry and justice work, and issues a compelling challenge to the church. Humility is not a tactic, and it's not just "being nice." It's a revolutionary path to follow the footsteps of Jesus.
