The Latest Installment of the Cornerstone Journal of Pastoral Theology and Ministry is Now Available!
We are happy to announce that the latest installment of The Cornerstone Journal of Pastoral Theology and Ministry is now available. The theme for this year’s edition of the CJPTM is Biblical Counseling and the Sufficiency of Christ. In our feature articles, pastoral insights, and book reviews, we sought to demonstrate that Christ is truly sufficient for the task of counseling. Working through his Word, Spirit, and his people, the Lord Jesus provides us with everything we need to effectively minister to those with deep spiritual needs. Below is a list of the resources provided in this year’s installment. You may read a PDF copy here or purchase a physical copy here.
