Synopsis "the contemplative pastor,returning to the art of spiritual direction"

Any pastor who needs and wants to get back to basics will do well to absorb this book. Eugene Peterson, well known as "a pastor's pastor," here speaks words of wisdom and refreshment for pastors caught in the busyness of preaching, teaching, and "running the church." In The Contemplative Pastor Peterson highlights the often-overlooked essentials of ministry, first by redefining the meaning of pastor through three strengthening adjectives: unbusy, subversive, andapocalyptic. The main part of the book focuses on pastoral ministry and spiritual direction "between Sundays" these chapters begin with poetic reflections on the Beatitudes and then discuss such themes as curing souls, praying with eyes open, the language of prayer, the ministry of small talk, and sabbatical--all with engaging, illustrative anecdotes from Peterson's own experience. The book ends with several meaning-full poems that pivot on the incarnation, the doctrine closest to pastoral work. Entitled "The Word Made Fresh," this concluding section is a felicitous finale to Peterson's discerning, down-to-earth reflections on the art of pastoring.

Eugene H. Peterson (1932–2018) fue un pastor, teólogo, escritor y profesor estadounidense reconocido por su enfoque cálido, pastoral y profundamente humano de la vida cristiana. Nacido en Washington y criado en Montana, creció en un entorno marcado por la fe sencilla de su madre pentecostal y el oficio de carnicero de su padre, experiencias que más tarde influyeron en su comprensión práctica y cercana del Evangelio.

Peterson estudió en Seattle Pacific University, el Seminario Teológico de Nueva York y la Universidad Johns Hopkins, donde combinó la formación pastoral con la académica. Durante casi treinta años fue pastor fundador de Christ Our King Presbyterian Church en Maryland, etapa que moldeó gran parte de su pensamiento espiritual y su compromiso con el acompañamiento personal de las comunidades de fe.

Es célebre por The Message, una paráfrasis contemporánea de la Biblia que buscó hacer el texto accesible, directo y comprensible para los lectores modernos. Además, escribió numerosas obras sobre espiritualidad, liderazgo pastoral y vida cristiana, entre ellas Un pastor según el corazón de Dios, Larga obediencia en la misma dirección y Compañeros en el camino.

Peterson fue apreciado por su lenguaje poético, su énfasis en la vida interior y su invitación constante a una fe vivida con autenticidad, lentitud y profundidad.
