The Pastor Theologian: Resurrecting an Ancient Vision by Todd A. Wilson, Gerald Hiestand

4.0

The Pastor Theologian by Geral Hiestand and Todd Wilson is a book that relays to me that theology matters. Theology matters in the pulpit, just as much as it does in the university. I found the book helpful in challenging my conceptions of theology related to the pastorate. The book gave needed advice on how to schedule a time in a busy schedule to write theology. Hiestand and Wilson provided me with an inspiring and powerful book as to why theology must not be separated from the pastorate. The purpose of theology was never to be done in a way that did not serve the church. Separating theology from the pastorate was a massive blunder for the church. After reading this book, I have been enlightened and see that theology is for all people. Theology can and should be done in the pastorate, along with in the academy. Not separate, but completing complementary tasks for the glory of Christ and his people.
