The Christian Priest Today
About this book
'Michael Ramsay's profound simplicity leaps off the page... The Christian Priest Today can be read with great and lasting benefit by anyone interested in this strange and magnificent vocation.' John Pritchard, author of The Life and Work of a Priest
Of all Michael Ramsey's many books, The Christian Priest Today is perhaps the best loved and most enduring.
The main part of the volume is composed of charges to ordination candidates, with an emphasis on the intellectual and devotional life of the minister in an increasingly self-sufficient world. Later chapters reflect on the ministry of the laity, the theology of priesthood and the roles of bishop and presbyter in the context of the practical meaning of divine vocation.
