Gortner, Director of the Doctor of Ministry Program and Professor of Evangelism and Congregational Leadership at Virginia Theological Seminary, reviews contemporary leadership literature and suggests an approach for holistic training and formation of church leaders. The articles are supplemented by a bibliography.
