Who is a theologian? What is the work of a theologian? To be sure, the answers overlap, but addressing them separately helps to clarify our understanding of the theologian and his work.
There is a deep desire in pastors to stay intimately in touch with the mystery of Christ through an interior life. How should we understand the contemplative life for a pastor, and what personal obstacles need to be surmounted before a steady commitment to such prayer can be maintained?
