Yet this often comes at the expense of the fundamental reality of the pastorate as a theological office. The most important role is to be a theologian mediating God to the people. The church needs pastors who can contextualize the Word of God to help their congregations think theologically about all aspects of their lives, such as work, end-of-life decisions, political involvement, and entertainment.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nDrawing on the depiction of pastors in the Bible, key figures from church history, and Christian theology, this brief and accessible book offers a clarion call for pastors to serve as public theologians in their congregations and communities. The church needs pastors to read the world in light of Scripture and to direct their congregations in ways of wisdom, shalom, and human flourishing. The Pastor as Public Theologian calls for a paradigm shift in the very idea of what a pastor is and does, setting forth a positive alternative picture.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nIn addition to pastors, this book will be invaluable to seminary students training to be pastors and to their professors. It includes pastoral reflections on the theological task from twelve working pastors.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\nContents\r\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nPreface\u003ci\u003e\r\nOwen Strachan and Kevin J.

In brief, this is an analysis of conservative and liberal plans to do good for the nation, evaluated in light of the Bible and common sense. In this ground-breaking book, recognized evangelical Bible professor Wayne Grudem rejects five mistaken views about Christian influence on politics: (1) \"compel religion,\" (2) \"exclude religion,\" (3) \"all government is demonic,\" (4) \"do evangel-ism, not politics,\" and (5) \"do politics, not evangelism.\"\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nHe proposes a better alternative: (6) \"significant Christian influence on government.\"\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThen he explains the Bible's teachings about the purpose of civil government and the characteristics of good or bad government. Does the Bible support some form of democracy? Should judges and the courts hold the ultimate power in a nation? With respect to specific political issues, Grudem argues that most people's political views depend on deep-seated assumptions about several basic moral and even theological questions, such as whether God exists, whether absolute moral standards can be known, whether there is good and evil in each person's heart, whether people should be accountable for their good and bad choices, whether property should belong to individuals or to society, and whether the purpose of the earth's resources is to bring benefit to mankind. After addressing these foundational questions, Grudem provides a thoughtful, carefully-reasoned analysis of over fifty specific issues dealing with the protection of life, marriage, the family and children, economic issues and taxation, the environment, national defense, relationships to other nations, freedom of speech and religion, quotas, and special interests.
