Heroic Leadership in the Wilderness, Part 1

Abstract

"Although Pentecostalism is said to be a restorationist movement,' its weak biblical foundations2 which opted for a proof-texting methodology,3 a long term baggage of dispensationalism and antiintellectualism5 has caused us to flirt with many cultural fads and theological obscurantism. The most recent fad is the study of leadership in the church and parachurch. The problem that I perceive is not the field itself, although others may question its cross-cultural applicability or credibility from the perspectives of business education or the behavior sciences."
