Synopsis:
In Thoughts on Preaching and Pastoral Ministry, James M. Garretson provides a detailed narrative of James W. Alexander's life in order to better understand his approach to gospel labors. Garretson draws deeply from Alexander's correspondence, tracking the spiritual development of his life as it shaped his practice of pastoral ministry. In addition, assessments of Alexander's sermons, books, and especially reviews provide valuable personal statements that shed light on his character and convictions. Throughout, Alexander is allowed to speak for himself so that the reader may enter into the spiritual pulse that animated his life and actions.
Bracing, heartening, and at times frustrating, Alexander's growth as a Christian and development as a minister is the story of a man subdued by God's grace and a life marked by a growing conformity to the likeness of Christ. For those whose privilege it is to serve as ministers of the gospel, Alexander's life and instruction provide inspiration and wisdom for how to do pastoral ministry well and with all of one's heart.
