A Response to “Stewardship-Leadership: A Biblical Refinement of Servant-Leadership”

Abstract

Beadles’ purpose in writing Stewardship-Leadership: A Biblical Refinement of Servant-Leadership is to “examine servant-leadership and to propose an extension that would bring the theory into better alignment with the Scriptures” (Beadles, 2000). I wholeheartedly concur that this void needs addressing. Though the topic of servant-leadership has seemingly been discussed and rehashed sufficiently, it still is an enigma warranting further
examination. In addition, the present understanding of servantleadership, particularly in respect to Christians, needs development.
