Abstract
This article examines four primary models of human leadership, the failure of these models and the Christological biopic they provide. This biopic is foundational to the Christology of the Bible as it demonstrates that Jesus is not merely typological fulfilment but actual operational necessity for the redemption of humanity. It is the failure of humans’ models which precipitates the presence of the one true model.
