Reader reviews for The Pastor: Readings from the Patristic Period

From the publisher

"Patristic theology is primarily pastoral. Yet often the study of writings from the first six centuries of the church is pursued in ways that make the polemical, philosophical, and political aspects stand out. But if one reads around those texts that are profiled in these ways, the pastoral concerns will emerge. Even contemporary interests in social, economic, and deconstructionist approaches locate much of the data for their questions within or near texts that also can be looked at for the descriptions of shepherding the flock. Thus it is likely that any who read ancient Christian literature will find this volume helpful. The introduction is masterful. No other volume known to me does that so well through the translated words of ancient leaders. Whatever historical surveys one finds helpful, they cannot replace this guide. It is done with such competence and flair that specialists who are historians with no particular interest in ministry other than its being a feature of the early church will need to consult it. Those, however, who as believers and ministers are attempting to serve contemporary congregations will devour this book. No seminarian should be without it." -Frederick W. Norris, Second Century "Adds a much-needed dimension to the field of pastoral care. . . . A fascinating introduction tracing the concept of 'pastor' through history." -The Living Church "In evaluating the work of a pastor today there has been an imbalance caused by a neglect of the tradition of the church. This is corrected by the present work, which is a most interesting collection of extracts from the patristic period bearing on the work and spirituality of the Christian minister." -Theological Book Review Philip Culbertson is Adjunct Lecturer in Theology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and Adjunct Instructor in Philosophy at College of the Desert in Palm Springs, California. He is an ordained Episcopal priest and has divided his career between university teaching and pastoral ministry in parishes. Arthur Shippee teaches Religious Studies at Queens College, C.U.N.Y., and Eugene Lang College, New York. Also a Presbyterian pastor, he is active in the Presbytery of Southern New England.

Description:
Augsburg Fortress Publishers, January 2009. Paper Back. New. Editors Philip Culbertson and Authur Shippee make the important point that, in terms of the pastoral calling, 'an inner vocation is not enough; indeed, as in the early centuries of the church, vocation would seem often to lead either to pride or to bitter disappointment. It is the institution that forms and sustains the clergy in its midst, and ministry is effected through the support and challenge of the church community.' While modern instruction in pastoral care may make reference to Jeremiah, Jung, the Psalms and Freud, it seldom cites Jerome or Athanasius, Tertullian, Cassian or Augustine. In The Pastor, Culbertson (an Episcopal priest and lecturer in theology) and Shippee (a Presbyterian minister and religious studies professor) have collected source documents relevant to pastoral care, focusing especially on moral formation and reformation. Each chapter, beginning with readings from the second century, includes short… Read more
