The Christian Ministry
By Charles Bridges / Banner Of Truth
The revival of the church seems to be closely connected with the condition of its ministry. In this book Charles Bridges considers the general and personal causes of ministerial ineffectiveness, and goes on to examine preaching and pastoral work. Charles Bridges (1794-1869) was one of the leaders of the Evangelical party in the Church of England in the last century. He was vicar of Old Newton, Suffolk. As usual, Banner of Truth is faithful to the original in its rendering of this classic. 390 pages. |

The Reformed Pastor
By Richard Baxter / Banner Of Truth
Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was vicar of Kidderminster from 1647 to 1661. In an introduction to this reprint, Dr. J.I. Packer describes him as "the most outstanding pastor, evangelist and writer on practical and devotional themes that Puritanism produced." His ministry transformed the people of Kidderminster from "an ignorant rude and revelling people" to "a godly worshipping community. These pages, first prepared for a Worcestershire association of ministers in 1656, deal with the means by which such changes are ever to be accomplished. |

An Earnest Ministry
By John Angell James / Banner Of Truth
The abiding impressiveness of John Angell James' classic on the Christian ministry lies largely in the manner in which he presents one simple idea: he argues that the effect of preaching is directly related to the heart-condition of the preacher, "it is feeling which gives power to words and thoughts". To command attention for the truth, its spokesmen must first be earnest, that is to say, be possesse by one single aim and by devotion which leads them to surrender all that would hiner its attainment. |

1 & 2 Timothy and Titus
By Patrick Fairbairn / Banner Of Truth
From the preface by the author. This expositiry volume on the Pastoral Epistles had its origin in a departmet of labour connected with my official duties. Till lately, it ws for many years my lot to conduct a class of Pastoral Theology for advanced students preparing for the work of the Christian ministry; and a portion of the time during each session was usually devoted to the exposition and illustration of more or less of those Epistles. Practically, it was found impossible to overtake more, in any particular session that a comparatively limited portion of them. But as comments on the whole had been prepared, I have thought that the publication of them might be of some advantage to students of Sacred Scripture, especially those who are either in the position of candidates for the ministry, or without lengthened experiences in the discharge of its duties. |
