摘要：This qualitative hermeneutical study of Hosea 7:1-16 examined Hosea's insights into leadership and how they might enhance, critique, or refine destructive leadership theory (DLT). After performing a general hermeneutical and genre analysis of the biblical text and uncovering its leadership implications, these implications were intersected with the three domains of the toxic triangle theory of DLT: destructive leaders, susceptible followers, and conducive environments. Although the situation in Hosea 7 illustrated well the toxic triangle of DLT, a number of areas for potential refinement of DLT emerged, especially related to the theory's reliance upon modern psychology, ethics, and views of culture. DLT remains in the formative stages of development and could benefit from building stronger ethical foundations, investigating additional processes involved in destructive leadership situations, studying the interaction between the three domains of the toxic triangle, and exploring potential solutions to destructive leadership. Insights from Hosea 7, as well as from additional exegetical research of scripture, show promise for further gains toward a more robust theory of destructive leadership.
