CONCERNING THE TRUE CARE OF SOULS
By Martin Bucer
Translated by Peter Beale. Banner of Truth. 218 pages. £14.00
ISBN 978-0-85151-984-5

We live in an age where a lot of emphasis in ministry is placed upon evangelism. Church leaders seek to do evangelism, model it, and motivate their congregations, all of which is excellent.

Giving real spiritual guidance, though, is the Cinderella ministry of the evangelical church today. Churches are unsure as to what pastoral care looks like — and leaders are often just as clueless! Martin Bucer’s book is a timely and nearly 500-year-old pointer to the ministry of caring for Christians.
