This volume attempts to put the clergy in the context of the issues
and debates of the nineteenth century, treating the social history
of the clergy, the repeated attempts to reform it, and the impact
of these reforms on the structure and outlook of rank-and file
parish clergy. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the

Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
Evaluating Current Approaches to Leadership This book offers a
comprehensive evaluation of current approaches to leadership from a
discerning Christian perspective. Combining expertise in
leadership, theology, and ministry, the authors take a historical
look at leadership and how it is viewed and used in today's
context. The book is informed by both biblical and leadership
studies scholarship and interacts with a number of popular
marketplace writings on leadership. It also evaluates exemplary
role models of Christian leadership. The second edition has been
updated and revised throughout.
Richard Antoun documents and exemplifies the single most
important institution for the propagation of Islam, the Friday
congregational sermon delivered in the mosque by the Muslim
preacher. In his analysis of various sermons collected in a
Jordanian village and in Amman, the author vividly demonstrates the
scope of the Islamic corpus (beliefs, ritual norms, and ethics),
its flexibility with respect to current social issues and specific
social structures, and its capacity for interpretation and
manipulation.
Focusing on the pivotal role of preacher as "culture broker,"
Antoun compares the process of "the social organization of
tradition" in rural Jordan with similar processes outside the
Muslim world. He then highlights the experiential dimension of
Islam. The sermons discussed range over such topics as family
ethics, political attitudes, pilgrimage, education, magic, work,
compassion, and individual salvation.
