About This Text

Author: Erica Brown
Leadership in the Wilderness: Authority and Anarchy in the Book of Numbers, by Dr. Erica Brown, analyzes events of the Book of Numbers in search of the key to successful leadership. Bringing together Bible and commentary, literature and philosophy, travelogues and corporate manuals, this book examines aspects of Numbers like the impact of the landscape on its inhabitants, attitudes toward ascetics and strangers, and the roles of animals and symbols.
