The Bible in Pastoral Care

How can the minister effectively employ The Bible in his pastoral work? The Bible is often expected to be used creatively and redemptively for the spiritual guidance and comfort of man. Instead, it is too often misused -- sometimes even harmfully. Author Wayne E. Oates asserts that The Bible can be the most valuable resource of those pastors who are fully aware not only of its potentialities for good, but of the unfortunate consequences that sometimes follow upon its improper use. This book pleads for a "pastoral" use of The Bible as opposed to the "penal" method of wielding it as an authoritarian weapon to enforce moral behavior. A great resource for clergy and laity alike.
