Synopsis

This fine collection of essays marking more than fifty years of faithful ministry by Robert Oliver draws together contributions from north America (Joel R Beeke, Michael A G Haykin, Tom J Nettles and S Blair Waddell) and Europe (Guy A Davies, Philip H Eveson, Dinu Moga, Iain H Murray, Paul Oliver, Robert Strivens, Geoff Thomas and Jeremy Walker). CONTENTS Foreword: Iain H. Murray Introduction: The Editors The Making of a Shepherd: Paul Oliver Theology Perseverance by the Spirit: Joel R. Beeke Perseverance by the Word: Joel R. Beeke The Pastorate The Pastor as Spirit-Empowered Preacher of the Word: Guy A. Davies One Man Among A Thousand: Jeremy Walker A Minister Looks Around and Back: Geoff Thomas Baptist Thought The honour of the Spirit s work : Michael A.G. Haykin Jonathan Edwards s Impact on Baptists: Tom J. Nettles The Baptist Movement in Romania in its Historical and Religious Context: Dinu Moga History Philip Doddridge s Hints of a Scheme ... for the Revival of Religion Robert Strivens Cornelius Winter: A Tempered Assessment of George Whitefield: S. Blair Waddell The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists and their 1823 Confession of Faith: Philip H. Eveson Robert Oliver s ministry is marked by faithfulness and humility . . . It has always been his desire to be known as merely a servant of the Lord. In his ministerial career he was both a pastor and elder for over fifty years. And in addition to this, he devoted the final 26 years of his life s work to the training and the teaching of shepherds in the service of the Lord s work. These men would be used of God in stations all over the world. While he taught Church History at the London Theological Seminary, he has always remained a student of the subject. It should come as no surprise that in Robert s magnum opus, History of the English Calvinistic Baptists, 1771 1892, each historical figure studied is a pastor. He has always looked for examples of godly pastors that preceded him. Now after a lifetime of faithful service in teaching and ministry this book is meant to be a tribute to his career. From the Introduction by the editors Next to Scripture, Robert has shown that the right use of church history is also of real importance in understanding our duty in the present day. He has encouraged another generation to Walk about Zion ... Mark ye well her bulwarks ... that ye may tell it to the generation following. For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death (Psalm 48:14). From the Foreword by Iain H Murray
