From the Back Cover

Praise for the First Edition
Christianity Today 2005 Book Award Winner
"While leadership studies, both secular and religious, have become very popular, most Christian works are of an experiential or testimonial nature. . . . [Reviewing Leadership] offers a more substantial consideration of the historical and theological aspects of leadership study. . . . I would recommend it to the academic or student who has already had some introduction to leadership studies, Christian or not. It helps one get a grasp of leadership as a discipline rather than a simple character trait or skill."
--Richard Ramsey, Christian Education Journal
"Carefully survey[s] the myriad assumptions that underlie various approaches to leadership, and how each makes sense theologically. . . . It flows across the vast literature on leadership and by the time you're done reading, you'll have an excellent grasp of the field and where to find answers to more specific questions. . . . For Christian leaders trying to make sense of popular leadership studies, this book provides the broader perspective pastors need, and helps us avoid the all too easy subversion of Jesus for the purposes of businesslike efficiency."
--David Fitch, Leadership Journal
"The best word to summarize this book is 'comprehensive.'. . . Properly studied, this book will allow novices in the area of leadership to discuss the topic intelligently and thus would benefit any reader."
--Thomas White, Southwestern Journal of Theology
"Perfect for the introductory, graduate leadership course that deals with the foundational theories and history of leadership, with a purposeful Christian worldview. . . . This book will serve an ecumenical community well with its breadth and depth of analysis of many traditions that have shaped leadership for both church and society. It is an important resource for the student of leadership."
--Christina Accornero, Missiology
"For the student choosing to master the field of Christian leadership, these chapters are a gold mine of references and further study."
--Richard Leslie Parrott, Ashland Theological Journal

Great Place to Start in reviewing leadership
By Lt. Rhoades
Reviewing Leadership: A Christian Evaluation of Current Approaches
Banks, Robert and Bernice M. Ledbetter
Baker Academic, 2004
171 pages.
Reviewing Leadership sets out to review, analyze, and process the paradigms of secular and religious leadership from the Christian worldview. The authors accomplish this mission through the development of six chapters, each building up the previous. The construct of the book is--
Ch. 1 The Growing Interest in Leadership Today: Definitions, Causes, and Issues
Ch. 2 Biblical, Historical, and Contemporary Perspectives on Leadership
Ch. 3 The Emerging Spiritual and Religious Dimensions of Leadership
Ch. 4 Popular and More Substantial Faith-based Approaches to Leadership
Ch. 5 Practicing Leadership through Integrity, Faithfulness, and Service
Ch. 6 Christian Leadership in Action: Some Exemplary Case Studies.
Banks and Ledbetter attack this reviewing, analyzing, and processing through six tiers--theological exploration, current writings, personal experiences, cultural analysis, and personal observations of exemplary role models-- that consistently stack upon a common foundation: "truth comes from God in a variety of ways and that all truth is God's truth" (p. 11).
The authors from the onset of the book suggest that leadership and the leader are based both upon objective and abstract values. It is futile to establish any sense of a system of leadership as one-and-only-one and any limited catch-all attributes of the leader; but, the authors, as well, make it clear that there is a base philosophical system and a base of attributes that should be core to "influencing and empowering...people to bring about change" (p. 17).
What the authors uniquely provide in Reviewing Leadership is unparalleled in all "influencing literature" familiar to the reviewer. Banks and Ledbetter extract the core of every leadership book presented in their book, giving an objective-as- possible- purview to the reader. The authors do not merely attack-and-extract, but carefully weigh the pros and cons of each unique paradigm. As well, the authors complete each section with an exemplary model of the paradigms and implications for application (whether the authors agree to the model or not).
As great as the first four chapters book are, the reviewer believes that the remaining two chapters would even be as valuable if standing alone. The authors complete their reviewing, analyzing, and processing by giving heed to their personal flavor of leadership as focused through the core attributes of Integrity, Faithfulness, and Service. Banks and Ledbetter finalize these cores attributes by describing several near impeccable examples of "Christian Leadership in Action."
The reviewer holds little in negative assessment to the book as a whole. The book was informative through its historical description of leadership and provides an intense survey of modern leadership, leaders, and culturally relevant literature. As much the book was informative, it was far greater spiritually inspiring and provided the reviewer with a rekindled and new-founded motivation and desire to move to a greater personal and communal hope. Though small in size, the material begins to uncompress as soon as the reader opens the preface and continues to expand even upon completion of the final chapter.
The reviewer was affected not merely on the concept of external leadership but received a harsh slap to the ego. The result is a deep tattooing of the core questions addressed by Max De Pree--What do I believe? What is my purpose in life? To what am I, as a leader, devoted? Who do I intend to be? What is the source of our humanity? What will I die for? If anyone is unable to at least ask the tough questions, one may be doomed to a reciprocal selfish and superficial existence.
Reviewing Leadership's affect transverses the cognitive, affective, and spiritual synapses--what one hopes will be for the reviewer's remaining temporal existence. This learned objective and affect of leadership is not for the "I", but for the "we."

Go to Resource for a Leadership Literature Review
By Dr. Roger Helland
In my doctoral program in leadership and spiritual formation, I had to read a plethora of books and articles, sample chapters, and biblical texts, which plunged me into the vast sea of leadership studies. I wish I had the current second edition of Reviewing Leadership that would have accomplished a lot of that for me in one volume. This well-researched gold mine offers a comprehensive and current literature review with extensive reflections sustained by an evaluation from a Christian approach, theologically informed. This is your go to resource for a graduate level introduction and overview of the myriad approaches to leadership in secular, sacred, and spiritual contexts. Its purpose is not so much on the applied side (though they offer some of that) but on the review and theoretical side as an orientation to the field. The weight of leadership material continues to stream from the American business world, where Christian leaders can adapt many helpful ideas, especially for organizational leadership. However, according to the authors, we must think Christianly about leadership, with a biblical worldview that acts as a filter for any research findings, and “It is only when the direction and the method are in line with God’s purposes, character, and ways of operating that godly leadership takes place.” In eight chapters, the authors cover: 1. Leadership: An Emerging Academic Discipline, 2. Biblical, Historical, and Denominational Perspectives on Leadership, 3. Spiritual and Religious Dimensions of Leadership: The Ethical Foundation, 4. Faith-Based Approaches to Leadership, 5. Practicing Leadership Through Faithfulness, Integrity and Service, 6. Leader Development: Leaving a Legacy, 7. Governance: Practicing Faith Based Leadership, 8. Christian Leadership in Action: Some Exemplary Case Studies. While the authors review a vast array of leadership material mainly from secular authors along with many Christian authors, some notable omissions included evangelical writers on leadership such as Henry Blackaby, Alan Nelson, Alan Cole, Eddie Gibbs, Reggie McNeal, Aubrey Malphurs, and Mary Kate Morse. Though all books have limitations, this book’s strength’s exceeds its limitations. This book is not about how to practice effective pastoral, church, or spiritual leadership. It’s a Christian evaluation on current approaches to leadership. “Book has been provided courtesy of Graf-Martin Communications and Baker Books\Bethany House in exchange for an honest review.”
