Hearers and Doers
A Pastor’s Guide to Making Disciples Through Scripture and Doctrine
In Hearers and Doers, Kevin Vanhoozer makes the case that pastors, as pastor-theologians, ought to interpret Scripture theologically to articulate doctrine and help cultivate disciples. Scriptural doctrine is vital to the life of the church, and local pastor-theologians should be the ones delivering it to their communities. With arresting prose and striking metaphors, Vanhoozer addresses the most pressing problems in the modern church with one answer: teach sound, scriptural doctrine to make disciples.

“In Hearers and Doers, Kevin Vanhoozer shows us what it looks like when the Christian church ‘does’ the truth, when our making of disciples includes the waking of disciples—waking us up to the metaphors and myths of our secular age so we can follow Christ with faithfulness and passion. A splendid book that brings together biblical exegesis, theological reflection, and cultural analysis—all for the sake of the church.”
“If your role is like mine, many of your young congregants spend significant time and money getting their bodies in shape. They hit the gym, eat organic foods, use organic hair care products, and discipline themselves for longevity. What they are missing is in this book: a resource that shapes the soul. Bodily discipline is of little gain, but godliness is most profitable. My systematics professor has done it again! He is helping the local pastor build the Body for spiritual fitness. Read it and be strengthened.”
