About

This book is designed to help ministry students ponder the nature of their field, cultivate their unique interests, and formulate opinions regarding current issues.

Students preparing for vocational ministry in seminaries and colleges encounter unique challenges and opportunities. Preparing for Christian Ministry assists students by providing seasoned advice from professors on a variety of themes: the call and transition into ministry training, personal and professional developmental issues, the tasks of ministry, and contemporary social and ethical issues.

This text was written by former and current professors at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary who were commissioned to write articles in their area of expertise that would be appropriate for use in the seminary's first-year "Formation for Christian Ministry" classes.
