Hearers and Doers

The foundation of discipleship is sound, scriptural doctrine.
The value of sound doctrine is often misunderstood by the modern church. While
it can be dry and dull, when it flows from the story of Scripture, it can be
full of life and love. This kind of doctrine, steeped in Scripture, is critical
for disciple-making. And it's often overlooked by modern pastors.
In Hearers and Doers, Kevin Vanhoozer makes the case that pastors, as
pastor-theologians, ought to interpret Scripture theologically to articulate
doctrine and help cultivate disciples. Scriptural doctrine is vital to the life
of the church, and local pastor-theologians should be the ones delivering it to
their communities.
With arresting prose and striking metaphors, Vanhoozer addresses the most
pressing problems in the modern church with one answer: teach sound, scriptural
doctrine to make disciples.
