A number of books have been written on the various roles of the pastor, and many of these works focus on one particular aspect of the pastoral ministry only, or just a few of them. The Multidimensional Pastor is an attempt to bring together and discuss in a single volume these various elements of the pastoral ministry with a goal of looking at principles from the Scripture to guide the pastors as they fulfill these various roles. The purpose of this work is to provide a balanced perspective and a bigger picture of the pastors' functions, while acknowledging their personal limitations. In this way, readers can develop a more realistic set of expectations from a pastor and celebrate the variety of expressions of the ministry.

In this book, Samson Uytanlet states his observation that there is an unnecessary disjunction between Luke's theology and literature in previous studies on Luke-Acts: Luke's theology is typically studied in light of Jewish writings while Luke's literature is studied in relation with Greco-Roman works. The author shows that there are theological, literary, and ideological elements that ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish writings share which are also present in Luke's work. In areas where they diverge, however, Luke-Acts shows closer affinity to Jewish writings.
