Shepherd Leadership in the Scriptures: A Biblical Study of Shepherd Leadership in the Old and New Testaments

By Jamie Swalm

Why do we often talk about leadership in terms of shepherding? Where did the concept of shepherd leadership come from? Who or what is its source? In Shepherd Leadership in the Scriptures, Jamie Swalm plunges deep into the Bible, ancient culture, and scholarly sources in an attempt to discover the origins of shepherd leadership. This in-depth study takes him back 9,000 years to the early agrarian societies of the Middle East up to the peak of the Roman Empire, as he tracks the development of shepherd leadership throughout the Old and New Testaments. The driving force behind this thorough exploration is a simple but profound question: if God Himself often compared His leadership to that of a shepherd caring for his sheep, then shouldn't we try to fully understand what shepherd leadership means? If this is the form of leadership our Creator prefers, it must be worthy of a full and complete examination.Join Jamie as he searches for the origin and basis of what may be the most vital, effective form of leadership in human history.
