The Minister as a Physician and the Seminary as Medical School (1)
This article draws a metaphor of the minister as a physician and the seminary as medical school. Biblically a link is made between the spiritual and physical condition – sickness and healing. The minister, like a physician, must be trained to correctly diagnose and prescribe. The nature of this work requires training at seminary in order to shape the minister and teach him to use his tools well.
