“America within the past hundred years has produced a panoply of images of ministry, which have remarkably paralleled the changing image of the hero in secular journals and magazines ... When images of the minister become an issue, either for the pastor or the congregation, there is a dual temptation. Some struggle to escape the old images ... But there is also another temptation. Many ministers are tempted to barricade themselves within inherited images.”
