Curtis Braun is a Reformed Christian author known for works such as The False Gospel of Baptismal Regeneration in the Lutheran Church, Christ's Call to Saving Faith, The Gospel Call and Conversion Theology of James, and The Apostle Paul's Theology on Conversion. In this book, Curtis aims to restore a biblical understanding of the pastoral office. He explores how God, by His grace, shapes a pastor's character and equips him to walk faithfully before the Lord, proclaim the gospel, preach and teach the Word, confront false teaching, address sin within the church, and endure persecution.
