Lexham Cultural Ontology on Leadership

I am trying to find the Lexham Cultural Ontology on Leadership. I read the factbook entry on leadership. That is the way I normally access the Lexham Cultural Ontology entries. What is wrong? I understand leadership being a cultural phenomenon. Volker Kessler, “Pitfalls in ‘Biblical’ Leadership,” Verbum et Ecclesia 34 1, Art. #721 (2013), page 1. Would leadership not be considered a cultural concept?

See Subjects Covered (OCM) | Human Relations Area Files (yale.edu) which is the more comprehensive set from which the Lexham Cultural Ontology is extracted. Witthoff, David, Jessica Parks, and Sean Boisen. Lexham Cultural Ontology Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2015. is your primary source of information re: the Lexham subset.

If I were you I would look at a somewhat broader topic which is in the Lexham subset - social control.

As the cultural concept coding is rather sparse, I look for the text "social control" which leads to results like these:

Could social control be a part of the biblical and historical definition of leadership?

How can I create that search construction? Who are the founders of social control theory and did they base their principles on biblical foundations?

Did you check the documentation of cultural concepts -- it almost always includes sample search. If the samples are in the old format, the search will show the new search.

Who are the founders of social control theory and did they base their principles on biblical foundations?

The ontology is not a theory nor does it represent a theory of anything other than standardized categories for anthropological materials. Check the Yales website for details or the Logos documentation of the data set.

did they base their principles on biblical foundations

No - in my theological framework the question is nonsensical; you need someone who shares your theological framework to answer the question.
