The Pastor’s Study
From The Pastor as Public Theologian: Reclaiming a Lost Vision (2015), p. 129
“To minister Christ, one needs to know Jesus Christ, and for this we need the testimony of the Old and New Testaments, the tradition of the church’s sustained reflection on this testimony, and personal experience of Christ’s presence and activity. Learning Christ—with heart, soul, strength, and mind alike—must be the beginning and end, the center and circumference, the energy and matter of [the pastor’s study].”
