Pastoral Theology

 


    In this course you will study what God says about the Pastor.  Who, why, how, his qualifications, his family, etc., are some of the subjects that will be studied.

    This class is based upon the notes from a class taught by Dr. Loys Vess who is now with his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.  This study is taken chiefly from that class and has been expanded somewhat by Dr. T.E. VanBuskirk, one of Dr. Vess' students.

This is a class from pastors to pastors about pastors as taught by the Lord in His Bible.
