Research a Christian person in history (from any country/culture—just not Jesus) who you believe demonstrates transformative leadership. Someone who represents Niebuhr’s “Christ transforming culture” paradigm. You need to have your person approved by me either verbally in class or via email by March 17th.

1) Give an introduction/bio of the person (who they were and what they are known for)-with sources (400 words).

2) Analyze/discuss why you think this person demonstrates Niebuhr’s “Christ transforming culture” paradigm (400 words).

3) Analyze/discuss how this person demonstrated the life and teachings of Jesus (400 words).

4) Analyze/discuss what leadership qualities this person had that made them a transformative leader/what areas of society they impacted. As well as what were their weaknesses/struggles/mistakes (400 words).

5) What have you learned through studying this person’s life, and what is one thing about their life (strengths or weaknesses) that you want to learn from to apply to your life and why? (400 words)
