description: Godly men from the past present a wealth of material for pastors as well as for those training for the ministry. The character qualifications and duties of the preacher are emphasized along with the difficulties and snares associated with the office. The priority of preaching Christ faithfully and experientially is held forth as the focal point of pastoral ministry. The Christian Pastors Manual was first published in 1826. Tested by time it remains a relevant and formative handbook on pastoral ministry.Table of Contents:1. The Evil and Danger of Neglecting SoulsDr. Phillip Doddridge2. Preaching ChristRev.
