The Times They Are a-Changin': Christian Leadership Over the Last 40 Years

Abstract

The article considers a biblical theology of leadership and examines empirical studies of leadership over the past 100 years. Both theological and scientific analyses frame the authors’ reflections on leadership in educational ministry over the past 40 years. Three inter-connected factors shape our understanding of leadership at any given time in history: the importance of a leader’s character; the competencies needed in a leadership role; and the context in which a leader serves.
