The Center for Pastor Theologians Journal
The Center for Pastor Theologians Journal (formerly the Bulletin of Ecclesial Theology) was published by the Center for Pastor Theologians from 2014–2026. The essays were drawn from the papers presented at the Center’s theological symposia for pastors. As such, each volume of the CPTJ/BET focuses on a single theological theme relevant to ministry and the life of the church. Spanning a wide ministry context (rural, urban, small church, mega church) and the breadth of evangelical denominational affiliations (Baptist, Anglican, Wesleyan, Reformed, Lutheran, Independent, etc.), the majority of the contributions came from evangelical theologians and scholars whose primary vocation is pastoral ministry. The book reviews were written by pastor theologians with fellow pastor theologians in mind.
The CPTJ/BET models robust ecclesial theology — theology that is born out of a parish context and driven by parish questions and concerns.
Views of the contributors are their own and not necessarily endorsed by the editorial staff or the Center for Pastor Theologians.
Print editions of the CPTJ/BET are available for purchase at GlossaHouse and on Amazon. Free digital downloads of the essays are available below. Indexing available in Christian Periodical Index, owned by the Association of Christian Librarians and produced by EBSCOHost.
