Dallas Willard, the author of the bestselling spiritual classic, The Divine Conspiracy, now fulfills his revolutionary vision of how the kingdom of God is made real on earth in this sequel, the last book he was working on before his recent death.
In The Divine Conspiracy, revered Christian philosopher and scholar Dallas Willard critiqued the church's obsession with "sin management" and revolutionized our understanding of true Christian discipleship and spiritual formation. Jesus is not a remote savior, waiting to welcome us into heaven after we die, Willard argued. He is a dynamic living force, a leader and teacher to whom we apprentice ourselves to learn the sacred skills God wants us to embrace, and to fulfill His son's vision when Christ declared that the "kingdom of God has come."
In The Divine Conspiracy Continued, co-written with theologian Gary Black, Willard lays out the next stage in God's plan as this generation of disciples, including ordained and lay leaders, step into positions of authority across our culture and begin to transform the world from the inside out. To fulfill the Christian calling through servant leadership is not to remove oneself from the outside world and take shelter from its shortcomings, Willard reminds us, but to step into the world to lead and serve as agents of change, equipped with a deep understanding of moral knowledge.
This final work from a beloved teacher offers a practical blueprint for leaders ready to transform their sphere of influence:
- Christian Ethics in Practice: Move beyond theory to see how the kingdom of God reshapes leadership in business, law, medicine, and ministry.
- A Vision for the Common Good: Discover a Christ-centered framework for making decisions that foster shalom and true human flourishing in our communities.
- For Pastors and Lay Leaders: Bridge the sacred-secular divide and equip the saints—in the pulpit and the boardroom—for the real work of the ministry.
- Discipleship to Jesus: Learn what it means to be an apprentice to the Master, not just a believer in a religion, and become a true agent of change from the inside out.
