Leadership and Calling Through the Prism of Scripture: A Phenomenological Study of Biblical Leaders

This volume offers phenomenological studies that examine the lived experiences of biblical leaders, emphasizing external summons and a pro-social intention while offering suggestions for future research.

Part 1 focuses on various aspects of divine calling and leadership, covering topics such as the calling of biblical prophets like Jeremiah and Samuel, and the downfall of Solomon.

Part 3 presents both positive and negative portrayals of biblical leadership, demonstrating how both types can lead to social justice outcomes.

Presenting a Christian perspective of the relationship between the leaders and their sense of calling, this book employs a phenomenological approach to investigate the significance of various aspects of God's calling, such as the leader's discernment of the calling, predictors of a leader's calling, the social-cultural influences of the calling, the relationship between personality traits and calling, and the evolution of a leader's calling. This book will contribute to scholarly discussions related to meaningful work, workplace satisfaction, employee engagement, and responsible leadership.
