Tribes, Godin, and Godly Leadership
Interesting article from Crossway President and Publisher Lane T. Dennis about Christian differences with Seth Godin’s book Tribes, which seems to be all the rage lately (witness his speaking at Catalyst 2008)
Although I would acknowledge that there some concepts and insights that one can profitably learn from Seth Godin’s book (e.g. about the significance of blogging, electronic media, social networks, and community), the overall content of Tribes is diametrically opposed (in my judgment) to the biblical understanding of godly leadership. To the extent that Christian organizations, and the leaders of tribes within Christian organizations, adopt Godin’s overall analysis and understanding, the result will be clearly contrary to Scripture.
