About the author

Reuel L. Howe was an American Episcopal priest, pastoral theologian, and author born in 1905. He taught pastoral theology at Philadelphia Divinity School and later at the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary in Virginia, building a reputation as a thoughtful teacher of ministry and relationships.

He is especially remembered for books such as The Miracle of Dialogue and Partners in Preaching, works that argued faith is not only proclaimed but also discovered through genuine exchange between people. Alongside his teaching and writing, he founded the Institute for Advanced Pastoral Studies in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

His writing joined theology with everyday human experience, often focusing on love, communication, and the life of the church. That mix of practical wisdom and spiritual reflection has kept his work meaningful for readers long after his death in 1985.
