Back Cover
This book reflects the contributions of hundreds of students who have taken my Moral Leaders course at Union University and Mercer University since the late 1990s. I am deeply grateful to each student whose engagement has improved this book and am reminded that scholarship is always, one way or another, a group effort. Colin and I especially acknowledge the students at McAfee School of Theology of Mercer University in the fall 2017 semester who participated in the development of this book during their Moral Leaders course: Brandon Brock, Joy Bugg, Tiffany Burch, Preston Cooley, Harrison Litzell, Darrnell Long, Adam Peeler, Christiana Tsang, Peyton Wade, and Heather Wright. I offer my profound gratitude to my coauthor, Colin Holtz, who has transitioned from student to colleague through his amazing work on this book. Theres no going back now! Above all, I thank the God who called, inspired, and sustained the women and men we profile in this book.
David Gushee
I would not be in a position to write these words without the love and support of my family, they have been there for me in good times and bad. I thank God for pouring out undeserved blessings and delivering me time and again. I owe my friends and family at McAfee School of Theology, CenterForm, and Commonwealth Baptist Church a big thank you for their much-needed encouragement during the writing process. Finally, I would especially like to thank David Gushee, a mentor and friend, for offering me the opportunity to explore and be inspired by these astonishing lives.

The Study of Moral Leadership
In early January 1920, twelve men sat in jail, condemned to die. A few months before, they and other poor black tenant farmers from Elaine, Arkansas, had met at a local church to organize against the outrageously low prices for cotton the white owners of their land insisted upon. The farmers posted armed guards outside for fear of retaliation. As they assembled that night, there was a rapid burst of gunshots. No one knows who fired first, but a local white man lay dead in the aftermath.
