Zusatztext This book definitely contributes to an understanding of Paul as a pastor ... highly recommended, not only for those who might want to delve deeper into Paul’s pastoral character, but also for those who might be interested in the connection between practical theology and NT scholarship. Informationen zum Autor Brian S. Rosner has a PhD from Cambridge University, UK, and is Principal of Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia. Trevor J. Burke teaches New Testament in the Cambridge Theological Federation, UK. Vorwort Biblical scholars examine the writings of Paul to assess to what degree he may have behaved as a pastor and to discuss the nature of his performance of such a role. Zusammenfassung 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.
