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. Notably, each author assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each leader but also analyzes the institutional constraints on their decision making that help to provide a fuller picture of their leadership legacies. Utilizing diverse scholars from Cedarville University’s Department of History and Government, the book features chapters on Oliver Cromwell, Edmund Burke, George Washington, Winston Churchill, Syngman Rhee, J. 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. Bush, Tony Blair, and Stephen Harper.

Reviews for In Pursuit of Moral Political Leadership

""There is political leadership and there is moral leadership. How about a blend of the two? Is there any political leadership worth its salt without the moral? Here is a rich exploration of the topic."" --Jay Nordlinger, Jay Nordlinger, Senior Editor, National Review, USA
