Servants and Friends: A Biblical Theology of Leadership

by Skip Bell (editor)

Against the chatter of pop psychology and the latest list of must-have motivational habits, twenty Bible scholars and ministry professionals thoughtfully grapple with what the Scriptures, in their totality, actually have to teach us about the essence of true leadership. In Servants and Friends, Skip Bell and his team examine and correlate the breadth of evidence in the Old and New Testaments. They trace the nature of God’s intent, and bring it all together in a fresh and challenging theological understanding that may radically alter what we have thought leadership really is.Skip Bell is professor of Christian leadership and director of the Doctor of Ministry program at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. He received a DMin degree from Fuller Theological Seminary. He is the author of numerous academic and professional articles and of one book, A Time to Serve. His primary focus has been leadership and administration, serving the church in pastoral, administrative, and academic roles.

[Jonathan Larssen · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first book ever published dealing with the theological framework of leadership. It gets dry in a few places but there were a number of chapters that more than made up for the dry sections. Excellent read.
