Abstract

The crisis of integrity, ethical disorientation, and the declining quality of strategic decision-making in contemporary leadership demand a robust and transhistorical normative foundation. The figure of King Solomon in ancient Israelite tradition represents a prototype of leadership legitimized by divine wisdom, making it critically relevant for scholarly examination. This study addresses the problem of how the construction of Solomon’s character and the praxis of his wisdom in Old Testament texts can be transformed into a conceptual paradigm for modern leadership without falling into historical romanticism. The objective of this research is to formulate a theoretical leadership model grounded in biblical wisdom through an analysis of Solomon’s character, theological orientation, and decision-making patterns. The method employed is a theological hermeneutical approach integrated with interdisciplinary literature studies, including leadership theory, public ethics, and Old Testament theology. The analysis focuses on key narratives that portray the judicial, administrative, and spiritual dimensions of Solomon’s leadership. The findings indicate that Solomon’s wisdom is theocentric, deliberative, and oriented toward distributive justice, thereby shaping an integrative and visionary model of leadership. The relevance of these findings lies in their capacity to offer a normative framework for leadership formation rooted in transcendent morality while remaining adaptive to modern social complexity. The novelty of this study resides in the formulation of a hermeneutical reconstruction model of Solomonic wisdom as a normative-strategic paradigm for the development of contemporary leadership theory based on sacred texts.

Abstract

The Book of Ruth portrays humanitarian values that emerge amid the family, economic, and social crises experienced by Naomi and Ruth. This study aims to analyze how Ruth’s loyalty reflects humanitarian values and their relevance to contemporary society. The research problem focuses on the manifestation of loyalty, sacrifice, social solidarity, acceptance of foreigners, and hope within the narrative of the Book of Ruth. This study employs a qualitative method using a hermeneutical approach and literature review to interpret the text based on its historical, social, and theological contexts. The findings reveal that Ruth’s loyalty became the foundation for sacrifice, social concern, acceptance of vulnerable groups, and hope that fostered the process of restoration. The presence of Boaz and the Bethlehem community further demonstrates that restoration does not occur individually but through relationships built upon love and social responsibility. The study concludes that loyalty, sacrifice, solidarity, acceptance, and hope constitute essential foundations of human resilience in times of crisis. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of these five values as a unified process of restoration, positioning the story of Ruth as an ethical model of humanity that remains relevant to modern society.
