The Fortitude of Moses’ Leadership: An Examination Moses exhibited marked leadership, as he existed within the uncertainty and constant gloom of the world of the Old Testament. As a leader Moses was best known for helping to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, a treacherous endeavor laden with many challenges. However, among the many leadership qualities that Moses possessed—courage, being a good listener, persistence and taking risks—his faith was the strongest aspect of his leadership abilities. This paper will examine how the bulk of Moses’ leadership abilities manifested and why he was such a capable leader.
One of the most compelling ways that Moses demonstrated his inherent level of leadership was via the fact that he asked so many questions. Many people remember the words of leaders: for Moses he only has a small number of lines in the Bible. It is important to note that many of these lines are questions.….

Tubman Moses of Her People
PAGES 3 WORDS 1073

Tubman said: "Lord, if you ain't never going to change dat man's heart, kill him, Lord, and take him out of de way, so he won't do no more mischief.' Next ting I heard ole master was dead; and he died just as he had lived, a wicked, bad man. Oh, den it 'peared like I would give de world full of silver and gold, if I had it, to bring dat pore soul back, I would give myself; I would give eberyting! But he was gone, I couldn't pray for him no more.'"
Time and time again, Bradford's language about other "Negros" such as a man named Joe, whom Bradford describes as "gentle" and a "valuable piece of property," as well as the friendship she evidences for other abolitionists and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, reveals her ideological bias as a well-meaning Northerner not without racial prejudices. The….

In addition, Moses' flaws give the Bible a little more drama and excitement.
For example, readers would expect that Moses -- a great leader -- would have an automatic invitation to the Promised Land (Fox, 1995). However, Moses was barred from entering the Promised Land because he was disobedient and flawed (Deut. 32:48-52). Moses was told to speak to a rock to get water from it, but instead he beat the rock repeatedly, showing his bad temper and a lack of faith (Num. 20:7-13).

Moses was a man who wanted to save others. His compassion made it very difficult for him to watch others suffer. When he followed God's commands to meet with the Pharaoh, he trusted that God would alleviate the suffering of his followers. When the situation worsened, Moses' compassion for the people got in the way of his trust in God. He cried out to God, questioning His….

PAGES 10 WORDS 3205

However, Pharaoh's heart was heartened and he refused. ecause of this, Aaron was instructed to lay down the rod in front of the Pharaoh and it became a snake. The pharaoh then ordered his sorcerers to throw down their rods and they also became snakes but Aarons snake ate the other snakes and the Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he would not release the children of Israel. Then the Lord turn to River into blood and there was no water for seven days.
Pharaoh's heart continued to be hardened and several other plagues followed. According to the Old Testament these plagues included frogs, flies, lice, the death of cattle, boils, hail, locust, the plague of darkness. Finally, the Lord killed the entire first born of Egypt. He instructed the people of Israel to cover their doors with the sacrificial blood of a lamb so that death would pass over them.….

Living in the palace as a prince was no doubt an indulgent experience, and likely contributed to the temper that Moses was so famous for. As an infant, he is the very image of innocence and hope, just like the baby Jesus. But as his life went on, his character became much more complex. The first story form the Old Testament that clearly illustrates Moses' inability to contain his temper comes in the second chapter of the book of Exodus: "He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand" (Exodus 2:11-12). This episode is especially telling because it does not show simply a rash display of temper -- Moses takes the time to make sure no one will witness his actions before he kills the Egyptian. He….

Moses Maimondes

Moses Maimonides is regarded as an individual who played an important role in shaping the history of the world through his contributions to philosophy, astronomy, and Torah analysis. The theories he devised with regard to Jewish law and ethics have been acclaimed throughout history and have inspired many individuals in developing some of the contemporary society's greatest ideas. Maimonides' work is timeless and many of his ideas can still be applied today. The "Mishneh Torah" and the "Guide of the Perplexed" are among his greatest works and these two are largely responsible for enabling individuals in general and Jewish people in particular to gain a more complex understanding of Judaism and the important lessons that it provides.

Even with the fact that Maimonides main intention was to provide people with the ability to increase their knowledge, he chose to concentrate on also….


The narrative genre, specifically an "epic," continues in the second book of the Bible, or "Exodus," which explains the story of the Israelites in Egypt to the Holy Land, and ends with the legal genre. The narration includes the introduction, which provides the transition from Genesis and seven parts of 1) the sufferings of Israel in Egypt and God's help is promised; 2) God's power that is shown through the plagues inflicted on Pharaoh and allowing the Israelites to leave; (3) the love of God shown by the trek of the Israelites to Mt. Sinai, even when the people show disbelief; 4) the making the Covenant at Mt. Sinai with its legal ordinances; 5) the directions for building the Tabernacle where God is to dwell in the midst of the people; 6) the Covenant's renewal based on the demands following worship of the Golden Calf, and 7) the building and….

Magic as a Central Theme in "Moses, Man of the Mountain"
There has been magic in the world since time began. Even in the scientific world that has little to do with metaphysics, magic has a significant place because how can a scientist explain the tiny bit of matter that became the universe unless they do so with magic. Throughout history it has had a significant place because there are many things about this world that people still cannot explain, so they reason that there must be some unseen force behind it. Zora Neale Hurston saw this in the Biblical story of Moses, as have many others. He was able to do wondrous things with the staff he carried, the rod of power (Hurston), because of its magic. This paper discusses a central theme, magic, as it is developed in Hurston's book "Moses: Man of the Mountain" from the perspective of….

Robert Moses

Robert Moses Demonic Angel
Robert Moses has been called many things from "master builder" to "racist," and just about everything in between. Moses' building projects literally transformed the New York City into a modern city. Beginning with the parks system, he built parks, pools, bathhouses, beaches, and parkways, before moving on to roads, bridges, tunnels, and eventually highways. Prior to Moses, New York was a city built of small streets, isolated neighborhoods, and filled with areas of tenements and slums. After Moses, New York was a modern city, with interconnected boroughs, nice parks and beaches, and a road and highway system that connected every neighborhood in New York with the outside world.

New York is a city that grew up somewhat organically. hile laid out on a general grid pattern, there was no overall planning in the development of the city as a whole. In effect, each borough developed independently. The was….

Effective Leadership and the Case of MosesIt is well documented that effective leadership is a critical component of organizational success. A growing body of scholarship confirms that leaders who exhibit effective leadership skills have the potential to transform their followers in ways that help them grow as well as helping achieve their organization\\\'s goals. Not surprisingly, organizational theorists are always searching for good examples of effective leaders to support their views and theories. For this purpose, the biblical account of Moses provides a valuable case study of effective leadership. Moses exhibited visionary, authoritative, transformational and servant leadership style that motivated and inspired his followers to achieve their full potential. In addition, Moses also adapted his leadership style to different situations in ways that are reflective of situational leadership. However, Moses\\\' shortcomings, such as his lack of confidence and communication problems, serve as important reminders of the challenges leaders face in….

The Leadership of Moses
PAGES 3 WORDS 1018

In the Old Testament, Moses emerges as an unlikely leader of the captive Hebrews. Raised by the Egyptians like a son, he finds that he is actually a Hebrew and his relationship with the God of the Hebrews grows so that he is chosen to send a message to Pharaoh that God wants the Hebrews to be freed. Moses was an ethical leader from the beginning who practiced both ethical leadership and transformational leadership skills to bring the Hebrews to the Promised Land. He killed a slave master for cruelly whipping a Hebrew, fled, met an angel of God, and returned to his true people to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt and through the desert for 40 years.
Moses was given up by his mother as an infant because the Egyptian ruler feared that the Israelites were becoming too powerful and would ally themselves with Egypt’s enemy. So the order….

He took it upon himself to justify intellectually and scientifically the various principles and views prorogated by Jewish thinkers and rabbis.
Contrary to popular belief of his time that some commandments could not be explained scientifically, Maimonides asserted that every single commandment had sound intellectual basis or reasons, which are intelligible to human beings. Maimonides dedicated his life for bridging the gap between reason and revelation. He believed that reason unlike revelation was an arduous process that follows a step-by-step procedure to reach the truth and asserted that man was inherently capable of reaching the final truth provided he possesses certain intellectual capacity. evelation was just a higher form of reason and thus there existed no specific difference between the two.

For Maimonides, the love of God is the intellectual love of God, that is, one begins with the intellectual knowledge of God, but then imbues that intellectual knowledge with drive,….

Fiorello Laguardia: obert Moses
Fiorello La Guardia took part in American politics. He was the New York Mayor, and then a Congress member from 1916 to 1918 and then from 1922-1930. obert Moses, a Town Planner, worked predominantly for the Metropolitan area of New York. Moses is known to be the Master Planner of the mid-1900s city of New York. He and Fiorello worked autonomously in the city area of New York from the 20s, throughout their careers. While Fiorello was the Mayor, obert was the highly admired planner of New York. Fiorello therefore worked with Moses to develop the infrastructure needs of New York.

In the 30's during the economic recession, there was a New Deal, which led Franklin oosevelt, the President of the U.S. to give 20% of all the urban infrastructure money to Fiorello, to develop the city. Fiorello then worked with obert, with the help of the….

Moses Hadas of Columbia University, in an introduction to the complete works of Tacitus originally written in 98 AD, sets the tone for this essay: "It is a temptation to which many have succumbed to look upon Germania as a sort of Utopia, a conscious idealization of a primitive or unspoiled people calculated to chasten and reform the decadent Romans. This view is justified in the degree that a strong moralizing strain runs through all Tacitus' work. It has been wittily remarked that no one in Tacitus is good except Agricola and the Germans. But the fact is that too many unlovely traits are reported of the Germans along with the idealization to justify making moral improvement the main end of the book." One cannot help but agree.
Even by contemporary, twentieth and post-twentieth century standards, Tacitus' paper on Germania and Cnaeus Julius Agricola would stand the test of rigorous peer….

Harriet Tubman has always been a great choice for an essay topic because her life story is dynamic, interesting, and incredibly inspiring.  Born into slavery, Tubman not only escaped, but also risked her own freedom returning to the South in order to help others escape from slavery using the Underground Railroad.  She deserves respect as one of the country’s leading freedom fighters, but it took decades for her story to be fully told.  A full-length movie describing her life was only released in 2020 and while most people recognize her as a....
