SHEPHERD MOTIF IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA.
Abstract
This
research examines the Shepherd Motif in the Old Testament which has been misunderstood,
misinterpreted and subjected to criticism in recent times due to the varying
degrees of methodologies by scholars. These scholar use terms like Military
dictatorship, aristocracy, autocracy, democracy, kingship, and spiritual
leadership to talk on the subject without closely examining the caring motif of
the shepherd enshrined in the Old Testament. The objectives of this research
are to justify the assertion that shepherd motif especially, Psalm 23 and other
related texts encapsulates provision, protection and care as the basis for
understanding and interpretation. In Psalm 23 some scholars posit that the
shepherd motif reveals a caring and guiding shepherd, while others see the
caring motif in vv 1- 4.
For others
vv5-6 speaks of a host. Some of these scholars focus on the theological import
at the expense of exegesis, while others make input from their common life and
practical experiences. In the prophetic literatures most scholars examine the
shepherd motif to convey leadership responsibilities of Israel’s leaders who
were contrasted with God and his loving kindness. The gap which this thesis
attempts to fill is the discovery of the motif of untiring desire for care by
the shepherd, which Psalm 23 and other related texts in the Old Testament reveal.
The methods used are grammatico-historical exegesis, canonical approach,
syntactical-theological method, principles of syntagmatics and paradigmatics.
The researcher has also made some modest recommendations to the Church and
society in order to draw implications for pastoral care leadership in the
Nigerian situation. The contribution of this research to knowledge is that, it
has, for the first time fully laid bare the motif of untiring desire for care
as the basis for understanding and interpreting shepherd motif in the Old
Testament. This novel discovery which is informative, educative and
transformative is not found in any of the materials reviewed by the researcher.
