The Reformed Pastor by Richard Baxter
A Treatise of the Office and Order of the Minister of the Gospel
A passionate, practical manual urging ministers to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cure of souls: it insists that effective pastoral care requires genuine affection, constant self-examination, disciplined study, plain and useful preaching, frequent visitation and catechizing, and resolute exercise of church discipline. It warns against worldly distractions, negligence, and superficial ministry, offers concrete procedures for reforming a negligent parish, and stresses that personal holiness, perseverance, and accountability are essential to sustained pastoral effectiveness.
