Scripture says, 'I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding' (Jeremiah 3:15).Most of Israel's pastoral imagery is grounded in two traditions: Moses as God's undershepherd and David as shepherdking. These traditions, explains author Timothy S. Laniak, provided prototypes for leaders that followed, and formed the background for the ministry of Jesus, the good shepherd. The pastoral role was central to the ongoing life of local churches in the Christian movement, and today's pastors are still called to be shepherds after God's own heart, to lead his people, living on the margins of settled society, to their eternal home.In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Laniak draws on a wide range of Old and New Testament texts to develop the biblical theology of 'shepherd' imagery, and concludes with some principles and implications for contemporary pastoral ministry.A wonderful resource for pastors, teachers and seminary students, as well as readers interested in the study of biblical imagery.Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
