Types of Preachers in the New Testament: A. T. Robertson

This volume is from 1922.

From the book's Preface:

These studies of some of the minor characters in
the New Testament story illustrate the wealth of
material in early Christianity. Human nature has
infinite variety and perpetual interest. The author
has already written books about the Baptist, Jesus,
Paul, Luke, the Apostle John, Mark, and has one on
the stocks about Simon Peter. So these are not in-
cluded in this volume. The problem of the ministry is
always a vital one and there are periods of pessimism
about the ministerial supply. But God can use men,
of wide divergence in gifts and is not bound by any
rules save those of life and love. The Word of God
is not bound by any human shackles. The battle of
the human spirit for fellowship with God in Christ
goes on through the ages. A noble line of interpreters
of Christ appear in every age.
