Description
This book examines political leadership utilizing a worldview centered on the Bible. There are eleven substantive case study chapters that cover a wide swath of famous political leaders across multiple centuries and in several different national contexts within systems that diverge widely. In Pursuit of Moral Political Leadership sets the objective of investigating moral leadership knowing that every human being has their flaws and shortcomings yet pursues strong leadership for the betterment of their respective polities.

Edgar Hoover, Martin Luther King Jr, Margaret Thatcher, Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as two comparative chapters on i) Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, and ii) George W.
