This comprehensive book offers a robust Christological framework for the development and delivery of pastoral supervision, a crucial aspect for any denomination, congregation, or faith-based organization. Recognizing the significance of pastoral supervision for the well-being of clergy, chaplains, and a diverse range of pastoral workers, it serves as a vital resource.

Three central Christological themes, namely the revealing, re-membering, and restoring of Jesus, form the theological foundation of effective supervision practice. The book draws insights from three gospel passages, Luke 24:13–34, Luke 22:39–53, and John 21:1–14, to elucidate these Christological themes. By incorporating the perspectives of three theologians, Martin Luther (reformed), Emil Brunner (neo-orthodox), and James McClendon (small B baptist), the book deepens and expands the practical Christology of pastoral supervision.

In today's landscape, professional supervision, including coaching, mentoring, and spiritual direction, is increasingly sought after and even mandated by many individuals within church and faith-based organizations. This book, therefore, holds immense value for theologians interested in supervision, practical theology, and Christology. It provides a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their understanding and expertise in this field.
