Max Weber proposed a three-part typology for authority, traditional, rational-legal and charismatic. Traditional authority leads to feudalism. Rational-legal authority leads to bureaucracy. Charismatic authority leads to a personal structure between a leader and his followers.

Yes. Very much.

1. Traditional

2.Rational-Legal

3.Charasmatic Authority

Christian sources of authority are primarily the Bible. Some Christian churches have leaders who receive revelations from God giving them authority like the Catholic Pope or the Mormon Prophet.
