Word, Care, and Worship: A Biblical Theology of Pastoral Ministry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781786410573)

In this second volume by Dr. Peter Nyende, he outlines a biblical theology of pastoral ministry that highlights its vital importance and provides a comprehensive understanding of its fundamental goals and activities. This understanding is rooted in Jesus's designation as the chief shepherd, which is the fulfilment of the pastoral responsibilities of the priests and prophets in the Old Testament and the catalyst of the ministry of the apostles and their non-apostolic counterparts in the New Testament. Nyende identifies the three components of pastoral ministry in the Bible as preaching and teaching the word, caring for those in difficulty, and facilitating worship, thus providing readers with an exemplary framework for a truly biblical model of pastoral ministry.

This book is for pastors and theological students who seek to deepen their understanding of pastoral ministry by going beyond the mechanics of their everyday tasks and discovering the true goal and meaning that fuels their ministry.
