Anabaptist
Throughout some 500 years of life as a people, Anabaptist- Mennonites have pioneered their own understandings and practices of pastoral ministry, rooted in their understandings of the teachings of Jesus and the Bible. Now in these 14 chapters, writers who have dedicated themselves to studying and teaching pastoral ministry reflect on what can be learned from viewing ministry in Anabaptist perspective.

Pondering Anabaptist understandings of such images of the pastor as shepherd, teacher, healer, prophet as well as such issues as leadership, authority, ecclesiology, improvisation, and much more, the authors both affirm the resources for pastoral ministry found in the Anabaptist tradition and suggest areas for growth. They value, for example, the concern for servanthood often found in Anabaptist views of pastoring even as they seek to regain for pastors an authority sometimes lost when servant leadership is overemphasized.

This volume will be useful to those with Anabaptist roots interested in rigorous reflection on ministry as understood within their tradition- and also to those rooted in other traditions intrigued by what can be learned from the unique vantage point offered by Anabaptism.
