Contextual Biblical Leadership

Contextual Biblical Leadership is effective leadership that is informed by the context of Scripture and the culture in which one lives endeavoring not to violate either. However, when in conflict the norm is Scripture. There are two sources for this type of leadership as they work together in synergy where possible, the two sources are Scripture and culture so that the leadership is biblically based first but also relevant enough to lead in that particular culture. The starting point for this type of leadership is Scripture, not culture. The Scriptures set the tone and direction then the cultural realities are brought in through the norm of Scripture. Also involved in this research are the anthropological, sociological, and psychological aspects of leadership.
