The Bulletin of Ecclesial Theology is published bi-annually by the Center for Pastor Theologians. The essays contained within the Bulletin are drawn from the papers presented at the Center’s theological symposia for pastors. As such, each volume of the Bulletin focuses on a single theological theme relevant to ministry and the life of the church. Spanning a wide ministry context (rural, urban, small church, mega church) and the breadth of evangelical denominational affiliations (Baptist, Anglican, Wesleyan, Reformed, Lutheran, Independent, etc.), the majority of our contributors are evangelical theologians and scholars whose primary vocation is pastoral ministry. It is our aim that the Bulletin models robust ecclesial theology — theology that is born out of a parish context and driven by parish questions and concerns.
