  • This thesis considers the importance of biblical metaphors in pastoral ministry. After demonstrating the importance and value of metaphors, it presents the father metaphor as a valuable addition to current metaphorical language in use. Due to widespread difficulties with pastoral identity and cultural confusion about the role of biological fathers, this thesis sets forth a rediscovery of the term 'father' which can be applied to pastoral ministry in the twenty-first century. By conducting research in the areas of historical theology, biblical theology, psychology and leadership studies combined with semi-structured interviews, the following work proposes that the use of the father metaphor in pastoral ministry is a valuable addition to current pastoral metaphors already in use.
