"An extended pastoral reflection brimming with insight and clear counsel"

The Augustinian Pastor retrieves the theology, life, and ministry of Augustine for the increasingly complex task of pastoral ministry in the twenty-first century.

"Many pastors have become interested in welcoming Augustine of Hippo, one of the greatest pastor-theologians of all time, into their inner circle. If pastors want to apprentice themselves to Augustine, The Augustinian Pastor is the place to start."
--Joshua Chatraw, Beeson Divinity School

"Sherrard has made Augustine his mentor, and in this book he shares with us what he has learned about Augustine the person and his habitual pastoral practices. The topics Sherrard selects are apt, the pastoral practices he examines are edifying, and the wisdom he gleans from Augustine's writings is richly instructive. He has clearly learned much from his mentor, and we (pastors or not) who take up and read Sherrard can learn from him too."
--Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Litfin Divinity School, Wheaton College

"Sherrard has put together a fantastic book that serves as an extended pastoral reflection brimming with insight and clear counsel. If you feel like you were 'supposed' to read Augustine but have always been overwhelmed by the task, stop feeling guilty and start enjoying what you will learn from this book. It will be a balm to your soul and a gift to your ministry."
--Kelly M. Kapic, Covenant College

"Sherrard shows how reading widely in Augustine's corpus equips us for the wide breadth of life and ministry. I commend this book to pastors and to all training to be pastors."
--Michael Allen, Reformed Theological Seminary

"This book is instructive without being preachy, convicting without being legalistic, and inspiring in the picture it paints of pastoral ministry. I am a better clergy person for having engaged it, and I am sure that you will be as well."
--Esau McCaulley (from the foreword)
