The Pastor: His Qualifications and Duties
by H. (Hezekiah) Harvey
About the author
Born in England on November 27, 1821, Hezekiah Harvey later built his ministerial career in New York. Archival records at Colgate University describe him as an ordained minister and a professor of ecclesiastical history and theology, and note that he graduated from Madison University in 1845 and Hamilton Theological Seminary in 1847.
Harvey wrote on Baptist church life, ministry, and history. Catalog and library records connect him with works including Memoir of Alfred Bennett (1852), The Church: Its Polity and Ordinances (1879), and The Pastor: His Qualifications and Duties, a book that continued to circulate long after its first publication.
He died in 1893. Though not a household name today, he remains of interest to readers of Baptist history and nineteenth-century religious writing, especially for his practical, experience-shaped guidance for pastors and churches.
