From Moses and Joshua to Paul and Timothy, the Old and New Testaments are replete with narratives described the leader transitions of prophets, judges, kings, apostles, and pastors. Leadership succession is a complex process in that each situation is contextually unique. This book explores 10 narratives in the Bible that demonstrate the contextual complexities of leader succession and how leaders navigated it, for the good and bad. Each chapter focuses on a different example of leader succession: six Old Testament narratives, three New Testament narratives, and one chapter that takes a more holistic Scriptural approach. The chapters provide practical organizational leadership principles that can be applied to contemporary succession planning. Overall, this work contributes to an emerging field of succession planning and informs organizational leaders how to lead from a Biblical perspective. Joshua D.
