About this book

Pastor Pastorum takes the schooling of the Apostles by Our Lord as its stated subject. The contents list human freedom, revelation, the use of signs, and the laws governing the working of signs among the book's topics. The discussion says that some Divines have tried through theories of verbal inspiration to give the Gospels the position that actual writings of Our Lord would have held.

The argument describes memoirs assembled by contemporaries, or people familiar with contemporaries, as the form best adapted to preserve personality. The discussion of preaching treats men's favour as an insidious snare that might lead preachers unwittingly to prefer human praise. The account describes the temptation of a warmly received young preacher to soften Christ's sternness and meet the world halfway.
