An Updated and Abridged Edition of Richard Baxterâs Classic Text
Originally written in 1656 and endorsed by generations of leading pastors as an essential book on the work of ministry, this abridged version of The Reformed Pastor presents the best of Richard Baxterâs timeless advice in simple, modern language thatâs more accessible to a new generation of church leaders.
In inspiring communications to his fellow ministers, Baxter challenged them to pursue teaching and personal pastoral ministry with an exceptional degree of faithfulness. His words were grounded in the apostle Paulâs encouragement to the leaders in Ephesus to âtake heed unto yourselves and all the flock.â Baxterâs advice remains relevant today as Christian leaders face both new and age-old challenges in ministry. With this updated, abridged version of The Reformed Pastor, editor Tim Cooper retains Baxterâs passionate message in a modern, simplified style that speaks clearly to todayâs Christian leaders.
