Review
"Leadership is crucial to the well-being of any organization, not least that of the Christian community--whether that be of a local congregational, the wider denominational level, or of para-church missional and welfare/development agencies. Biblical Leadership: Theology for the Everyday Leader, edited by Benjamin K. Forrest and Chet Roden, constitutes a unique contribution to the literature dealing with Christian leadership, especially because of the broad biblical approach adopted, the caliber of the scholars enlisted for the project, and the essays each has contributed. Most parts of the Bible are explored, noting their particular historical contexts, and highlighting the various aspects of leadership they reflect and/or mandate. It's good to see a crossover from academic to practical theology in these essays, something that will make them attractive for many readers. This text makes an important contribution to the study of Christian leadership, and one that deserves a wide readership."--Colin G. Kruse, Senior Lecturer of New Testament, Melbourne School of Theology (8/3/2017 12:00:00 AM)
"Paul exhorts us to "preach the Word." Forrest and Roden have taken this charge into account in a book that focuses the leader's attention on Scripture. Just a quick search through the table of contents and you will recognize the names of a number of Bible scholars who are also biblical leaders who preach and hold up the Bible as being paramount in their leadership. They model Scripture for us in their leadership and that's refreshing. The editors' point can't be missed-- not only are we to preach the Word, but we're to lead by the Word."--Aubrey Malphurs, Senior Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary (8/3/2017 12:00:00 AM)
"The saying is true: "Everything rises and falls on leadership." This is true for government, businesses, organizations, and it's true for churches. Never has there been more of a need for godly and bold leadership in our pulpits than today. This is why I'm grateful for this new work Biblical Leadership: Theology for the Everyday Leader. While many people are writing on the subject of leadership, very few are offering principles and examples of leadership from a biblical point of view. This book strikes a great balance between helping readers understand the theological foundations of biblical leadership as well as giving practical wisdom and insight for leading in today's culture. Every pastor and teacher will benefit from having this resource."--Jack Graham, Pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church (8/3/2017 12:00:00 AM)
"This fascinating book is a fairly comprehensive biblical theology of leadership. With a stellar contributor lineup of outstanding Old Testament and New Testament scholars, this book is arguably one of the most text-driven and thus truly biblically-based book on "biblical leadership" in print. Covering both the Old and New Testaments, and moving from biblical exegesis to practical application for leaders today, each of the 33 chapters--along with the epilogue--adds a helpful dimension of what true biblical leadership looks like and how it plays out in life today. I highly recommend it!"--J. Daniel Hays, Professor of Biblical Studies & Dean, Ouachita Baptist University (8/3/2017 12:00:00 AM)

5.0 out of 5 stars Power Packed Biblical Book on Leadership
I needed to get this book as one of my many textbooks for my MDiv program. I have only read six chapters so far. There is so much meat. I am highlighting and underlining and writing things in the margins like crazy. Warning: this book is like a big piece of decadent chocolate cake. It is so rich. I’m reading it at a much slower pace to not miss any of its lessons!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good charactor study of biblical leadership models.
This is a good and even academic exposition of biblical leadership that's written by multiple authors. A better understanding of biblical leadership is imperative in the modern church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Savory
I love this book! The depth of study that went into each of the Biblical Leaders is wonderful. Not only did the authors develop well know leaders but less known ones as well. This is a book to savor and read multiple times to gain the full wisdom held within.
