Becoming a Pastor Theologian: New Possibilities for Church Leadership (Center for Pastor Theologians)

Synopsis

The Roles Of Pastor And Theologian Have Gone Their Separate Ways.throughout Much Of The Church's History, These Two Roles Have Been Deeply Intertwined, But In Our Contemporary Setting, A Troubling Bifurcation Between Them Has Developed. The Result Has Been A Theologically Weakened Church And An Ecclesially Weakened Theology. The Center For Pastor Theologians (cpt) Seeks To Overcome This Divide By Assisting Pastors In The Study And Production Of Biblical And Theological Scholarship For The Theological Renewal Of The Church And The Ecclesial Renewal Of Theology. Based On The First Cpt Conference In 2015, This Volume Brings Together The Reflections Of Church Leaders And Academic Theologians To Consider How Pastoral Ministry And Theological Scholarship Might Be Reconnected Once Again.-back Of The Book.
