Here is a gem. I spoke with the brilliant David Koyzis on authority, office, and the image of God. Listen to this insightful discussion on Trinity Talk.
This book argues that authority cannot be identified with mere power, is not to be played off against freedom, and is not a mere social construction.

This central office is in turn dispersed into a variety of offices relevant to our different life activities in a wide array of communal settings. Far from being a conservative bromide, the call to respect authority is foundational to respect for humanity itself.
