The result has been a theologically weakened church and an ecclesially weakened theology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Center for Pastor Theologians (CPT) seeks to overcome this divide by assisting pastors in the study and production of biblical and theological scholarship for the theological renewal of the church and the ecclesial renewal of theology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the first CPT conference in 2015, this volume brings together the reflections of church leaders and academic theologians to considerhow pastoral ministry and theological scholarship might be reconnected once again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors consider several facets of the complex identity of the pastor theologian, including the biblical, public, and political dimensions of this calling. In addition, the essays explore the insights that can be gained from historical examples of pastor theologians--including John Calvin, John Henry Newman and Dietrich Bonhoeffer--as well as the essential role of Scripture within the ministry of thepastor theologian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGerald L.
