William Perkins on Pastoral Theology - Paperback

by Justin Miller (Author)

William Perkins was a scholar, pastor, and faithful follower of Christ in a tumultuous time. He gave himself to the study of Scripture out of an abiding love for the glory of God among the people of Christ as well as for the training of future ministers in the doctrines of the faith. William Perkins's works have greatly influenced Christendom in the centuries that have passed. He writes with a scholar's mind and a pastor's heart. This book examines William Perkins's view of the biblical role of a pastor in the life of a local church in comparison and contrast to the viewpoints of the Reformers as well as others who proceeded after Perkins. The goal is to understand and evaluate William Perkins's thought, from Holy Scripture, in light of biblical pastoral theology.
