In his book We Answer to Another: Authority, Office and the Image of God (Pickwick Publications, 2014), David Koyzis situates authority in the context of the idea of office. “An office is a calling, a commission, a task given us in fulfilling our duties before God,” he explains. “What the book argues is that each of us has been given, by God, an office, and inherent in each of our respective offices is some measure of authority. The authority that we experience in the different areas of our life is, therefore, something that we are called to respect when it is properly exercised.” Ken Myers introduces his 2014 conversation with Koyzis with some passages from the work of Lesslie Newbigin and Stanley Hauerwas.
