About the Book

There are many situations that leaders in the church encounter that are curious. These situations require a patient, listening, and compassionate ear. A leader in the church should be prepared to make well-informed, responsible decisions on a regular basis while operating with only limited information. That is precisely why this book, Curious Cases, contains these one-hundred-fifty short pastoral case studies: in order to assist leaders in the church (especially young leaders in the church) to make good decisions inside of their various and unique ministry settings. Each case study provides the reader with enough information to make a sound decision on a case, but that doesn't mean the decision will be easy. In Curious Cases: A Series of Short Pastoral Case Studies, you will find real-life complex, challenging scenarios that the church is encountering in the modern world on a regular basis. This book is designed to help leaders in the church to faithfully prepare to engage the world in whatever setting they may be currently serving in!

About the Author :
Mark J. Renner serves as associate pastor of St. Mark Lutheran Church in Janesville, Wisconsin. Prior to that, he served as a pastor in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. He has been a pastor since January 2021. Before attending seminary, he served the church for about four years in a variety of unique roles and diverse settings. He loves spending time with his wife and children, and also traveling when time permits.

Review :
"What an amazing resource Curious Cases is. Whether you are a pastor seeking to exercise your theological insight through pastoral assessment or you are a lay person 'curious' about the kinds of situations that pastors could encounter, Mark Renner does an outstanding job collecting and creating deep, thought-inducing scenarios for consideration of Christian response. This is a resource to provoke discussion amongst fellow pastors or reflection on these situations on one's own." --Chad Bolosan, pastor, Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church "Mark Renner describes engaging and challenging real-life case studies that pastors face in ministry. Though not all cases will connect to a given pastor's own ministerial context or denominational setting, they nonetheless provide provocative topics to fuel fruitful personal reflection and helpful conversation. Case studies are excellent tools for growth in pastoral care and leadership. In this volume, Renner has provided many to fill one's toolbox." --W. Mart Thompson, associate professor of practical theology, Concordia Seminary "People's lives are messy--and so is ministry. Pastor Renner's collection of case studies, inspired by real-life events, will prompt reflection and conversation about pastoral practice in complicated situations." --Joy A. Schroeder, professor of church history, Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University "Theology can be kept nice and tidy if it is left wrapped in a box. But this collection of case studies challenges us to unleash its power and potential by letting it out of the box and putting it to work in the living context of pastoral ministry. Mark Renner has done ministers of all kinds a great service in providing this essential training material so we can all be better prepared for our own 'what-ifs!'" --Carl E. Pace, senior pastor, Zion United Church of Christ
