Faithful Ministry: An Ecclesial Festschrift in Honor of the Rev. Dr. Robert S. Rayburn
Ebook
This collection of biblical, theological, historical, and pastoral essays celebrates the remarkable forty-year ministry of the Rev. Dr. Robert S. ("Rob") Rayburn. A man of scholarly gifts and a shepherd's heart, Rob not only faithfully served a single congregation for his entire ministerial career, but also contributed to the wider church through his perceptive theological writings. Just as Rob embodied pastoral warmth, intellectual rigor, and an appreciation for the catholicity of the Christian tradition, so too the essays of this "ecclesial Festschrift" seek to bring scholarly expertise into the service of Christ's church.

“What you hold in your hands is a weighty book, a treasure of
knowledge, brimming with deep biblical, theological, and historical
reflection. These chapters set before the reader the subtlety and
richness of the reformed tradition, always rooted in the
catholicity of the Christian church. To read them is to glimpse the
kind of wisdom that infused the remarkable ministry of Robert
Rayburn, a faithful herald of God. Rob embodied the
‘pastor-theologian’ long before it was trendy, and this book honors
his love of learning, his love of the people of God, and above all,
his love of God. A fitting tribute!”
—Hans Madueme, Professor of Theology, Covenant College
“These essays, written particularly from an ecclesial context, also
provide perspective on Rob Rayburn’s significant contribution and
lasting influence as a member of the Board of Trustees of Covenant
College, where Word, scholarship, celebration of God’s manifold
gifts and callings, and generational continuity are at the heart of
the mission. How grateful to God we are for the blessing of his
thirty-seven years of leadership at Covenant!”
—Niel Nielson, Former President, Covenant College
