Theology for the Church Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls with Shawn Wilhite and Coleman Ford
In this episode, Caleb is joined by Shawn Wilhite (PhD, Durham University) associate professor of New Testament at California Baptist University and Coleman Ford (PhD, Southern Seminary) assistant professor of humanities at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to discuss their new book, Ancient Wisdom for the Care of Souls: Learning the Art of Pastoral Ministry from the Church Fathers. Together they discuss 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.
