The classic of Christian ministerial thought by Charles Bridges is
presented to the reader anew in this superb edition, complete with
the author's annotations. The author considered that the ministry's
failings in certain core duties sufficient genesis for a book. Why
did this failure occur? Had modern priests and ministers lost their
way from the tradition and essence of Christian belief? Were
corruptions of the heart frequent and getting commoner? These
questions are answered with unflinching sincerity: humans,
including the ordained, have shortfalls which can only be assuaged
by opening one's heart completely to God. The later parts of the
text focus upon the essential duties of the churchman: preaching
with the aim of uniting congregation and community in an unstinting
belief in the Lord is not a simple matter. Rather we discover it to
be a diverse practice; the preacher must not only incorporate
aspects of the doctrinal and scriptural truths, but be sensitive to
the emotions of his churchgoers.
