About The Author

Editorial Reviews

Clergy burnout still abounds. Now comes an antidote: a collection of reflections centering on a lost note today--"joy" in ministry. The Joy of Ministry contains eight theological reflections on ministry to help pastors recognize their identities and the joy in the midst of their ministry of sharing the gospel. Rooted in the writings of Karl Barth and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Thomas Currie III reminds readers of the basis for the church's ministry, namely, what God has done in Jesus Christ, and the ways in which the gospel joy is expressed in the ministry of the church.

Thomas W. Currie III is Professor of Theology and Dean of Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the author of Searching for Truth: Confessing Christ in an Uncertain World and Prayers for the Road: Psalm Meditations for College Students.
