Thriving in Leadership
Strategies for Making a Difference in Christian Higher Education

Seventeen senior leaders from Christian colleges and universities across the United States share fresh insights into the theory and practice of Christian higher education leadership.

“Thriving in Leadership is a marvelous book! While it primarily relates to academic leadership, the principles would apply in any leadership situation. All fifteen chapters have been written by women in leadership, modeling the strategies they espouse. Our academic audience should be primarily interested, but as Michelle Van Dyke, regional president of Fifth Third Bank points out, ‘Thriving in Leadership offers perspectives on leadership that have been largely muted in business theory publications…the book offers practical applications for those of us called to be servant leaders in the business world.’ Chapter three’s broad discussion of leadership would be great for any type of leader, and Robinson’s discussion of privilege in the epilogue is priceless.” —CBE reviewer

The history of women interpreters of the Bible is a neglected area of study. Marion Taylor presents a one-volume reference tool that introduces readers to a wide array of women interpreters of the Bible from the entire history of Christianity, from the early church to the twenty-first century. Contributions by over 125 top scholars introduce foremothers of the faith who address issues of interpretation that continue to be relevant to faith communities today, such as women's roles in the church and synagogue and the idea of religious feminism.
