Power and Integrity: Biblical Perspectives on Faithful Leadership

What does Scripture teach about leadership, authority, and integrity? Join us for our Fall 2026 Public Theology Lecture, hosted by the NPTS Bible Field, featuring two Bible scholars engaging in a timely conversation on biblical perspectives on faithful Christian leadership and the challenges of celebrity culture. Old Testament scholar Dr. Andrew J. Schmutzer and New Testament scholar Rev. Dr. Melanie A. Howard will offer a focused reflection from their respective testaments, exploring biblical perspectives on leadership, authority, character, and integrity. The discussion will highlight points of continuity, tension, and mutual illumination. Together, we will consider how Scripture can equip Christian leaders to lead with humility, integrity, and accountability.

Dr. Andrew Schmutzer is professor of biblical studies at Moody Bible Institute.
