What Must a Pastor Know?: Reflections on Congregational Studies
Abstract:
Arthur Boers surveys key insights that have emerged from a rapidly expanding literature on the nature and patterns of congregational life in the United States. Then he asks what have the social sciences that have been so heavily employed in congregational studies got to do with the theology that is supposed to be informing congregational life and practice.
