Dr Nathan Joshua provides a counter to this perception and instead draws attention to the goodness of godly benefaction and patronage from an African Christian perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Joshua gives a detailed historical analysis of the Pastoral Epistles in the social context of benefaction and patronage in the first century AD, while offering a comparative study on how to carefully apply the values of benefaction and patronage in light of Paul's perspective in the Pastoral Epistles, in Christian life and leadership. This is a valuable resource addressing the need for leadership with integrity, and challenging the negative outlook surrounding benefaction and patronage today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Langham Monographs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783685011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Nathan Nzyoka Joshua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668666642588,"sku":"9781783685011","price":32.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_93bca92a-a37e-4e50-92ef-9579d9e7ad5a.jpg?v=1603918133","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/benefaction-and-patronage-in-leadership-a-socio-historical-exegesis-of-the-pastoral-epistles-9781783685011","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
