Recovering the Wisdom of Early Christian Figures to Effectively Shepherd Modern Churches

In addition to the regular demands of preaching and shepherding, modern pastors feel undue pressure to entertain congregants and increase attendance numbers. Often, churches resort to the latest business models to keep pace. But true, life-giving guidance lies in Scripture and the wisdom of those having come before us.

Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls helps pastors to embrace a classic, biblical vision of ministry through the study of selected pastoral virtues and early church figures. Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory the Great both referred to ministry as “the care of souls.” Calling for a “return to the sources,” professors Coleman M. Ford and Shawn J. Wilhite ponder what a scriptural vision of ministry is, how patristic voices help inform this vision, and how pastors today can cultivate this pastoral vision in their churches. Each chapter examines an important pastoral topic―such as humility, the sacraments, and contemplative theology―and brings it to life through a constructive model and profiles of early church fathers. Encouraged by the patristic wisdom of Irenaeus, Athanasius, John Chrysostom, and more, readers learn a simple and slower model for pastoring that they can emulate as they care for their communities. A slower pace of life may, in fact, help pastors cultivate the soil of souls more richly and, as a result, return to ministry as “the care of souls.”

• Applicable: Enriches the spiritual and ministerial practices of modern pastors through ancient church wisdom, pastoral reflections, and examples from Scripture • Theological and Historical: Features detailed profiles of church fathers, including Ambrose of Milan, Augustine, Gregory of Nazianzus, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, and others • Written for Students and Pastors: Ideal for college-level courses, as well as new or seasoned ministers

恢复早期基督教人物的智慧以有效牧养现代教会

除了常规的布道和牧养需求，现代牧师还承受着娱乐教众和增加出席人数的压力。通常情况下，教堂会采用最新的商业模式来保持步伐。但真正具有生命力的指导来自于圣经以及我们之前的人们。

《关怀灵魂的古老智慧》帮助牧师通过研究选定的牧灵美德及早期教会人物，拥抱一种经典的、基于圣经的牧养愿景。尼西亚的格列高利和大格列高利都称牧养为“灵魂的照顾”。他们呼吁回到源泉，科林姆·M·福特教授和肖恩·J·威尔希特教授思考怎样的圣经视角是牧养的本质，以及先辈的声音如何帮助塑造这一视野。同时，现代牧师如何在教会中培养这种牧灵愿景。

每一章都探讨了一个重要的牧灵主题——例如谦逊、圣礼和冥想神学，并通过一个建设性的模型来展现早期教会的先贤们的生活方式。受到伊拉斯谟、阿纳斯塔修斯、约翰·克里索姆等先辈智慧的鼓励，读者们学习到一种简单而缓慢的牧灵模式，他们可以在照顾社区时效仿这一模式。事实上，慢节奏的生活可能帮助牧师更丰富地耕耘灵魂的土地，并因此回到“灵魂的照顾”这一本质。

• 实用性：通过古代教会智慧、牧灵反思以及圣经中的例子来丰富现代牧师的精神和牧灵实践

• 神学与历史视角：包括阿姆斯特朗、奥古斯丁、尼西亚的格列高利、凯撒里亚的大比德等早期教会先贤的详细画像
