| Summary: | EDUCATIONAL LEADERS SHOULD recognise the influence of the modern worldview in their leadership practices. Their task is not to conform to postmodern winds of change but to subvert contemporary educational forms giving them new shape and meaning by the power of the gospel. Lee Hollaar attempts to embrace the creational insights of postmodernity but, at the same time, he moves to subvert the idolatry that comes with these insights. Educational leadership is community building around a worldview centre. Christian educational leaders live at the crossroads between the true Biblical story and the western story and they need to follow a Biblical cultural strategy which is both affirming and antithetical. |
