Bivocational ministry presents both challenge and opportunity for the church in North America. What do pastors, lay leaders, judicatory leaders, and theological educators needs to know about this common, though misunderstood and under-researched, form of pastoral leadership?

With a combination of scholarly and practical writings, this book equips the church and graduate theological education to thrive in multivocational ministry.
