Teacher, Leader, Shepherd: The New Testament Pastor does not attempt to tell the minister how to preach or to describe how the pastor should go about his work On the contrary, this book focuses on an understanding of what the Bible has to say to or about the pastor and his ministry. The author gives a solid treatment of the New Testament passages, which speak specifically, whether directly or indirectly, to the role of the pastor. This work is beneficial to any pastor, whether a veteran or new pastor written by a former academic dean and professor of Greek and New Testament studies for many years, Dr. Robert E. Picirilli.
