In Jesus the Pastor, the issues Frye explores take on new dimensions of purpose and practicality. This thoughtful and liberating book explores:
-- Jesus and pastoring: Redefining the pastoral vision
-- Jesus and the Spirit: The source of power for the pastoral task
-- Jesus and compassion: The heart of the pastoral vision
-- Jesus and "his Body": How Jesus shepherds his undershepherds

Frye weaves biblical expressions of Jesus' pastoral life into stories of his own personal and pastoral journey and church experiences. This blend of stories along with reflections on Jesus' shepherding ministry make Jesus the Pastor both an expression of confessional theology and a practical pastoral handbook. Frye makes a bold statement with this worthy and imperative message for the pastors, gatekeepers, and thinkers of the body of Christ.
