Archibald Alexander on Physicians of the Soul
R. Andrew Myers
⬩
“There is a striking analogy between the office of a pastor and that of a physician. They both have respect to the welfare of men; and while the one seeks to heal the diseases of the body, the other aims at restoring to health the disordered souls of men.” — Archibald Alexander, Introduction to Shepard K. Kollock, Pastoral Reminiscences (1849)
