The pastoral ministry is in danger of losing its focus, say the
authors of this perceptive and timely study. Specialization in
preaching, counseling, evangelism, administration, and education
has diffused the impact of practical theology. And because of
competing ideas as to what now is central, the very image of
ministry may be breaking down. Foundations for a Practical Theology
of Ministry responds to the problem by introducing a specific
method for doing practical theology which will be welcomed by
concerned church leaders everywhere.
Presenting a realistic, workable answer to those who call for a
revival of this vital discipline, Drs. James N. Poling and Donald
E. Miller propose that the unifying image for ministry becomes the
formation of the community of faith. After developing this as the
most appropriate base for the practice of theology, they carefully
outline their method and show how it will work by demonstrating its
success in the actual experiences of typical congregations.
For Christian leaders who seek to renew the integrity of
ministry and restore the character of pastoral leadership, this
significantbook will provide a solid foundation. And for
individuals interested or involved in education for the future of
the church, this important resource will prove invaluable."
