Author and professor Gary Black asserts that the most important aspect of training for vocational ministry is knowing and applying Christian theology. Theology must be woven throughout the entire seminary curriculum—biblical exegesis, ministerial leadership, spiritual formation, counseling, preaching, and worship.
Black honors ministers as leaders who follow in the footsteps of Christ. Jesus was an expert in the issues of his day, demonstrated authority, mentored other leaders, inspired his disciples to imitate his life, and instigated a spiritual revolution—and Black says ministers of the gospel have received the same calling. Black’s practical wisdom and theological commitments provide a firm, guiding hand for those just beginning their journey toward vocational ministry.
