    Book Review: Michael Ramsey's 'The Christian Priest Today'

    In this episode, we look at one of the key books that potential ordinands might encounter in their journeys of discernment, 'The Christian Priest Today' by Bishop Michael Ramsey. First written in 1972, can this book still offer anything to today's potential ordinands, or those in ministerial training? This book review explores Bishop Michael's understanding of priesthood and what insights might still be useful today. Michael Ramsey 'The Christian Priest Today' (Oregon: Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2011 [1982]) ISBN 13: 978-1-61097-793-7
