"The Pastor: His Qualifications and Duties" by H. Harvey is a theological guidebook written in the late 19th century. This work is tailored specifically for students of pastoral ministry, providing practical insights and reflections from the author's own experiences in the ministry. The book explores the essential qualifications, responsibilities, and roles of a pastor, offering a comprehensive framework for effective church leadership. The opening of the text outlines the foundational principle that a legitimate pastor must be divinely called to the ministry, distinguishing this calling from merely choosing a profession. It addresses common misconceptions about discerning such a call, emphasizing the necessity for internal desire, the church's affirmation, and providential circumstances to align before one undertakes the pastoral office. Furthermore, the author establishes early principles that guide the pastor's preparation, development, and spiritual duties, setting the tone for a detailed exploration of various aspects of pastoral work that follow in the subsequent sections.
