Christian leadership studies often draw on Scripture. However, the field still needs integrative, process-oriented accounts that show how theological convictions shape leadership practice and how communal life is formed amid conflict and complexity. This thesis addresses this need by examining Paul’s correspondence with the Corinthian church (1–2 Corinthians) as a case of leadership within a conflicted community over time. Using Arnold’s systems thinking framework (mindset, content, structure, and behavior) as the primary analytic lens, the study examines how Paul’s eschatological convictions inform his leadership practices and how these, in turn, relate to recurring patterns in the Corinthian community across the letters. On this basis, it develops a model of eschatologically informed leadership. The thesis contributes to Christian leadership scholarship by providing a structured approach to connecting theology with process dynamics and by articulating transferable principles for faithful and resilient leadership in complex settings.
