Reviews

Brimming with insights directly relevant to Christian pastoral ministry, this is no dry academic tome but a careful guide into the pastoral heart of Paul. Paul as Pastor strikes the right balance in appreciating Paul's missionary preaching alongside his pastoral care and devotion to the early Christian communities in which he ministered. These essays are sure to be of encouragement to ministers in the church. * Darian Lockett, Biola University, USA * Most scholars would acknowledge that Paul's missionary purpose goes well beyond producing converts to the making of mature disciples. Most would also affirm that all of Paul's theology is `task theology' - theological truth brought to bear on specific situations in the life of the church. If both these are true, then Paul is not only a theologian and a missionary, but also (and especially!) a pastor. This volume brings together an exceptional array of scholars to deal with this important topic in Pauline studies. It is a welcome and much needed addition to the corpus of Pauline studies. * Mark L. Strauss, Bethel Seminary, USA * No doubt some will think a volume titled Paul as Pastor is looking for `potatoes in a bean field,' but not so. The contributors deftly probe various dimensions of the apostle's `shepherding' ministry manifested in his letters and Acts, demonstrating that Paul had a pastor's heart, a pastor's pattern of life and work, and a pastor's impact on local communities of faith. Applying this particular lens to reflection on the New Testament not only makes a unique contribution to an underserved theme in biblical studies, it promotes right thinking about our approaches to ministry in the twenty-first century. * George H. Guthrie, Regent College, Canada *
