When it comes to the office of the ministry of the Word, there is often needless confusion that runs to extremes. ... Pastor Webber cuts through the confusion with a clear exposition of the truth. ... Spiritual Fathers compiles, and weaves together, harmonious testimonies from orthodox voices throughout church  history.  Drawing from the teaching and example of God's Word, from the Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and from the long history of pastoral practice in Christendom, Pastor Webber leads the reader on a fresh and lively walk down the narrow Lutheran middle.  Spiritual Fathers belongs in the personal library of every Christian who wants to speak with a clear, orthodox voice in addressing the ministry issues of today.
