A search for a philosophy of leadership has to begin with ontological and epistemological questions. The former deal with what leadership is and the latter is concerned with how one can know. Hence the first chapter engages in exploring the meaning, scope and nature of leadership through the methods of analyzing common words and metaphors of leadership in the Old Testament, of which the Book of Deuteronomy is part. In addition, the research perspectives on the nature of leadership in the area of leadership studies are discussed to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics, and functions of leadership.
