# Pastoral Visitation: For the Care of Souls - Hardcover

by **Tyler C. Arnold** (Author), **Harold L. Senkbeil** (Editor)

**Christ comes to, and through, his people**

Many consider pastoral visitation antiquated and impractical. People seem busier than ever, and technology appears to trivialize personal contact. As a result, personal visits are often reserved only for the gravest of situations.

Tyler C. Arnold argues that pastoral visitation is essential to the pastoral role. In Scripture, God visits his people to show his personal interest and concern. This is seen most clearly in the incarnation. Christ's ministry is one of presence. But Jesus is not only an example of visitation ministry; he is the _embodiment_ of it. And in visitation, pastors and laypeople continue Jesus's ministry by bringing Christ to the individual in their very place of need.

Established in strong theological foundations and sensitive to contemporary concerns, _Pastoral Visitation_ exhorts pastors to return to this classic method of individual soul-care.
