Six Lectures on Pastoral Theology: With an Appendix on the Influence of Scientific Training on the Reception of Religious Truth (1903)

""Six Lectures on Pastoral Theology"" is a book written by James Maurice Wilson, first published in 1903. The book is a collection of six lectures delivered by the author to students of theology, with the aim of providing practical guidance on the pastoral duties of a minister of religion. The lectures cover a range of topics including the nature of pastoral work, the importance of personal character, the role of preaching and teaching, the care of the sick and dying, and the challenges of pastoral leadership. The book also includes an appendix in which the author explores the impact of scientific training on the reception of religious truth. Wilson argues that scientific knowledge has the potential to deepen our understanding of religious concepts and beliefs, but also acknowledges the potential for conflict between science and religion. Overall, ""Six Lectures on Pastoral Theology"" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the practical and spiritual aspects of pastoral work, as well as the relationship between science and religion. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and practitioners of theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
