The Minister As Prophet (1905)

The Minister As Prophet is a book written by Charles Edward Jefferson, first published in 1905. The book is a collection of essays that explore the role of the minister as a prophet, or someone who speaks the word of God to their congregation. Jefferson argues that the minister has a unique responsibility to interpret and communicate the divine message to their community. He suggests that the minister must be both a scholar and a visionary, able to understand the complexities of scripture while also being attuned to the needs and concerns of their congregation. The book covers a range of topics related to the prophetic role of the minister, including the importance of preaching and teaching, the relationship between the minister and their congregation, and the challenges and rewards of prophetic ministry. Throughout the book, Jefferson draws on his own experiences as a minister and scholar to offer practical advice and insights for those seeking to fulfill the prophetic role in their own communities. The Minister As Prophet remains a classic text in the field of pastoral theology and continues to be studied and referenced by scholars and ministers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
