About this book
With the promise of numerical growth, pastors are annually bombarded with new leadership techniques and paradigms for ministry. Many of these are influenced more by secular business philosophy, pragmatic thinking, and homespun advice than the Bible. The church is left spiritually impoverished and ill-equipped to face the challenges of secularization for want of a biblical-theological vision for ministry. This book fills a gap in the literature by being exegetically vigorous and obviously informed by biblical, historical, and systematic theology. The result is a robust work of pastoral theology able to meet the ministry challenges of the twenty-first century. There is no more important institution in the world than the church. And the best way to strengthen the church is to strengthen her shepherds. This is the aim of The Resolutions of a Pastor.
