Paul as Pastor demonstrates the critical nature of Paul's pastoral
care to his identity and activities. Despite the fact that Paul
never identifies himself as a pastor, there is much within the
Pauline letters that alludes to this as a possible aspect of Paul's
vocation and commitments, and this has been a topic of relative
scholarly neglect. The contributors to this volume consider the
household setting of Paul's pastoral practice, the evidence of Acts
and a survey of themes in each of the letters in the traditional
Pauline corpus. Additionally, three chapters supply case studies of
the Wirkungsgeschichte of Paul's pastoral practice in the pastoral
offices of the Anglican Communion in the denomination's Ordinal,
and in the lives and thought of Augustine of Hippo and George
Whitfield. As such Paul as Pastor provides a stimulating resource
on a neglected and critical dimension of Paul and his letters and
an invaluable tool for those in pastoral ministry and those
responsible for their training.
