上帝是真理知識的源頭，亦是宇宙的創造者。上帝的子民被呼召在不同崗位上見證上帝；牧者被呼召裝備信徒發展恩賜，在不同領域事奉上帝。在二十一世紀，牧者除了懂得推動教會事工活動的技巧，更重要的是懂得幫助弟兄姊妹從基督信仰角度詮釋生活經驗。這種服侍是一種在時代潮流文化中進行神學反思的活動。牧者有不同恩賜，筆者集中討論「學人牧者」的課題，文章從四方面入手：第一方面，教會歷史中傑出的「學人牧者」；第二方面，為甚麽華人教會需要「學人牧者」？第三方面，這個時代需要教會神學和公共神學並重的「學人牧者」；第四方面，二十一世紀華人「學人牧者」需要重視的神學課題。筆者提出當代神學教育應該加強公共神學的向度，幫助牧者從基督信仰角度回應世界的挑戰。
