NSBT 20: Shepherds After My Own Heart
Pastoral Traditions and Leadership in the Bible.Scripture
says, 'I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with
knowledge and understanding' (Jeremiah 3:15). Most of Israel's pastoral imagery
is grounded in two traditions: Moses as God's under-shepherd and David as
shepherd-king. These traditions, explains author Timothy S. Laniak, provided
prototypes for leaders that followed, and formed the background for the
ministry of Jesus, the good shepherd. The pastoral role was central to the
ongoing life of local churches in the Christian movement, and today's pastors
are still called to be shepherds after God's own heart, to lead his people,
living on the margins of settled society, to their eternal home.
In
this excellent study, Laniak draws on a wide range of Old and New Testament
texts to develop the biblical theology of 'shepherd' imagery, and concludes
with some principles and implications for contemporary pastoral ministry. (=
0830826211 / 9780830826216)'This biblical theology pushes for a
nuanced but holistic reading of shepherd imagery as it develops across the
canon of Scripture But [...] so extensive is this imagery in the domain of
Christian leadership that it contributes a great deal to what Christians ought
to understand about leadership itself, and how they will practise it.' -
