Clothed With Salvation & A Priest Forever
Between the two books by Klein and the vast supplementary material in the appendices, LeTourneau and the Seabury Society have provided the seminarian or cleric with a wealth of material for reflection and application. While Klein’s churchmanship is decidedly Anglo-Catholic, Anglican ministers (and prospective ministers) of all stripes would do well to consider the wisdom in the volume. Klein may have been of a prior generation, but that distance is part of what makes the book so valuable.
–The Rev. Isaac Rehberg
The North American Anglican, 2022 "A Book of seminarians and for those who have been, or hope to be, seminarians. It deals in plain language with the most vital aspects of seminary vocation, worship, prayer, study, and discipline. The first book of its kind in the Episcopal Church.
–Original Advert from the Living Church, 1953
"Written for a different age than our own but wrestling with perennial issues clergy and seminarians face, Bishop Walter Klein’s Clothed with A Book of Counsel for Seminarians is a welcome contribution to providing this much-needed training. Klein was the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana from 1963 to 1971. Perhaps more pertinent to his qualifications to write Clothed with Salvation , first published in 1953, was his experience in seminaries and divinity schools, first as a student and then as a professor. He served as a lecturer at the Philadelphia Divinity School and, in 1938, became chairman of the graduate department of the Philadelphia Divinity School. Klein was also a professor of Old Testament Literature and Languages at Seabury-Western Theological Seminary and served as the seminary’s assistant dean between 1952 and 1959. In 1959, he was elected Dean of Nashotah House, where he served until his death in 1963."
–Rev. Dr. Charles Erlandson, Foreword. "Bishop Klein has not attempted to duplicate the various books on Pastoral care or manuals concerned with priestly spirituality. Rather, as he says, his endeavor has been "to suggest how a priest can remain a priest in spite of an almost universal conspiracy to turn him into something else."
–Original Advert from the Living Church, 1965
"I have learned more about priesthood from I Corinthians 4: 1-5 than from any other passage of Scripture. St. Paul is my mentor, and I owe him the substance of my work. My debt to other priests cannot be expressed in detail. Their insights are scattered in this long discussion of the vocation they so faithfully followed. What they so generously gave me I now pass on to my juniors in the greatest of all offices."
