Descripción de contraportada
Pastoring for Life: Theological Wisdom for Ministering Well
Seasoned pastor James Howell explores the connections between our own birth, the experience of having children, and the new birth of the Christian life.
"Whether he is pointing out the trivialization of baptism in popular movies or reminding us that there is no stopwatch on grief, Howell has the gift of seeing the sacred in the ordinary, and the subject of birth is no exception. This is why pregnant women, perplexed parents, and seasoned pastors will be passing this book around, with sentences underscored on pages worn thin from the wisdom they offer. From the fast-tracked technological changes of our era to the ancient practices of biblical midwives, no subject is too hot for Howell to handle. Be it surrogacy, same-sex parents, or stillbirths, he addresses them all with the tenderness of a pastor who has performed more than two thousand baptisms and from a tradition older and wiser than we are."
--Lillian Daniel, senior pastor, First Congregational Church, Dubuque, Iowa; author of Tired of Apologizing for a Church I Don't Belong To and When "Spiritual but Not Religious" Is Not Enough: Seeing God in Surprising Places, Even the Church
"Where most theological reflection on human life centers on adult bodies, Howell focuses our attention on birth and infancy. With conversational eloquence, Howell gathers scientific, cultural, and scriptural resources to illumine babyhood as a theological event. Birth makes a compelling case for the importance of deep theological deliberation on the flesh of the youngest among us."
--Natalie Carnes, Baylor University
"To paraphrase songwriters Gimbel and Fox, Howell 'tells the whole of our lives with his words.' He speaks with the sensitivity of a seasoned pastor, the depth of a life immersed in Scripture, and the insight of a wise theologian. Birth: The Mystery of Being Born is a vulnerable, transparent excursion through our God-conceived multiple births and new beginnings."
--Gregory V. Palmer, Resident Bishop Ohio West Area, the United Methodist Church
