Publisher's Synopsis
The Shepherd of Israel: Or God's Pastoral Care Over His People is a religious book written by Obadiah Sedgwick and first published in 1658. The book is a theological exploration of the concept of God as a shepherd, and how this metaphorical image is used in the Bible to describe God's relationship with his people. Sedgwick argues that God is a loving and caring shepherd who guides and protects his flock, providing them with everything they need to thrive. He explores various aspects of this metaphor, including the role of the shepherd in leading and guiding the sheep, the importance of the shepherd's staff as a symbol of authority and protection, and the ways in which the shepherd cares for the physical and emotional needs of the flock.Throughout the book, Sedgwick draws on a wide range of biblical passages and theological traditions to support his arguments. He also offers practical advice for readers on how to live a life that is guided by God's pastoral care, emphasizing the importance of faith, obedience, and trust in God.Overall, The Shepherd of Israel is a deeply spiritual and thought-provoking book that explores the nature of God's love and care for his people. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian theology and spirituality.Delivered In Divers Sermons On The Whole Twenty-Third Psalm.
