Book description
Dr. Picirilli present an exegetical approach to the New Testament
passages that include practical exposition of the implicaitons of the
biblical text. Such a study is beneficial to any pastor, whether a
veteran or a new candidate for pastoral ministry. The work is informing
and challenging, helping to point the pastor's understanding in the
right direction. The author presents a thematic approach, a succession
of chapters on various aspects of the pastor's call, qualifications, and
role. The discussion is entirely grounded in exegesis of several
passages. This book does not attempt to tell the minister how to preach,
how to go about his work, or how to treat the practical problems faced
by pastors. On the contrary, this work focuses on an understanding of
what the Bible has to say to the pastor and his ministry. This is an
excellent resource for pastors, church leaders, and seminary students.
Dr. Robert E. Picirilli is former academic dean and professor of Greek
and the New Testament studies at Free Will Baptist Bible College in
Nashville, Tennessee. Since 1983, he as served as the General Editor of
"The Randall House Bible Commentary" and contributed to
several volumes within the series. His other published works include
"Understanding Assurance and Salvation"; "Grace, Faith,
Free Will"; "Paul, the Apostle"'; and numerous other
books and articles in denominational publications and theological
journals.
