Summary "The Minister and the Boy: A Handbook for Churchmen Engaged in Boys' Work" by Allan Hoben is a guidebook written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on understanding the intricate nature of boys and emphasizes the crucial role that ministers and church leaders can play in the development and well-being of youth within the community. Hoben encourages a dynamic interaction between boys and their leaders, highlighting the potential impact this work can have on shaping future generations and strengthening the church. The opening of this handbook introduces Hoben’s perspective on the challenge of engaging boys in meaningful ways within church settings. He outlines the historical context and growing need for a ministry that addresses the complex realities boys face, especially in urban environments. Hoben asserts that a successful ministry to boys is foundational for good pastoral work, as these young individuals represent the future leaders of society. He encourages churchmen to equip themselves with a deep understanding of boyhood and engage actively with boys, thereby fostering a supportive community that nurtures their ethical, social, and spiritual growth.
