Faithfully edited version of The Reformed Pastor
Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was a leader in the puritan movement in Britain. His successful ministry of Kidderminister, England was outstanding even in that period of eminent pastors and preachers, and his book The Reformed Pastor explains many of the principles he practiced there.
The Reformed Pastor is … powerful. We are far too satisfied with
scraps of praise from our supporters while the churches decline and
the world moves on. This valiant, sensitive attempt to make it even
more accessible by upgrading the language giving it a contemporary
flavouring is most welcome.
*Geoff Thomas (Conference Speaker and author, Aberystwyth,
Wales)*
A most amazing work that should be read by every young minister
before he takes a people under his care. I think the practical part
of it should be reviewed every three or four years. Nothing would
have a greater tendency to awaken the spirit of a minister to that
zeal in his work, for want of which many good men are but shadows
of what (by the blessing of God) they might be, if the maxims and
measures laid down in that incomparable Treatise were strenuously
pursued.
*Philip Doddridge ((1702-1751) was a well known nonconformist
pastor in Northampton, England. He ran a small college in his home
for training men for the ministry.)*
Well-worn copies of The Reformed Pastor have been the companion of
faithful Protestant ministers since the 17th century. Church
leaders will find this book a helpful resource for setting a
biblical direction for their shepherding care of God's flock.
*Charles M. Wingard (Associate Professor of Practical Theology and
Dean of Students, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson,
Mississippi)*
A timeless treasure. This edited version will thrill the reader
with the privileges of a faithful pastoral ministry yet
simultaneously reveal its challenges. Use it with an eager
anticipation that the pastoral ministry will be transformed.
*Harry L. Reeder III ((1948 – 2023) Senior Pastor, Briarwood
Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama)*
