My and @tylerwittman 's forthcoming book in a nutshell: “Our goal in this book is to assemble a toolkit for biblical reasoning. The toolkit’s goal is to enable better exegesis. The goal of that exegesis is, ultimately, to see God.” ()

Preaching is central to pastoral ministry, but it is not the whole of it. What else are faithful pastors called to do?
