description: The revival of the Church seems to be closely connected with the condition of its ministry. Bridges sub-titled the study of the Christian Ministry 'An Inquiry into the Causes of its Inefficiency' and rightly used it is well suited to promote a faithful and effective ministry.The Christian Ministry is Bridges' best known literary work but his expositions of Proverbs Ecclesiastes and Psalm 119 are also highly valued.Bridges begins by considering the general and personal cause of ministerial ineffectiveness and goes on to examine comprehensively preaching and pastoral work. This book was one of the few which the godly Robert Murray M'Cheyne took with him to the Holy Land and in its field it is without an equal.
