Everything I Needed to Know That I Didn't Learn in Seminary

About the Book

Everything I Needed to Know That I Didn't Learn in Seminary is a delightful read! It is written with disarming candor in what I might call a "folksy" style! It belongs in the category of practical theology as a kind of handbook for effective pastoral ministry that every student preparing for ministry should read. It deals with things not taught or learned in seminary. It is laced with anecdotes and is filled with practical advice as well. Although the author is an Episcopalian, the book is deliberately intended to relate to clergy. of many different denominations Dr. Ray S. Anderson Ph.D. Professor of Theology and Ministry Fuller Theological Seminary Based in large part on his four decades as an Episcopal priest, Rev. Robert H. Delgado has written a thoughtful, balanced, and well-written guide for seminarians and clergy of all Christian denominations. The author's emphasis on the practical aspects of clerical life helps make the book distinctive and valuable. Delgado's broad education, and his theological orthodoxy add much to what I found to be a rewarding reading experience Thomas C.
