Pastoral care,        church and religion are also in transition. Practical theology explores        these new challenges. This book introduces the readers to the field of        this discipline in dialogue with the metaphor of ‘boundaries’.        Theoretical insights in practical theology and its methodology are        combined with discussions about specific topics and case studies from        the field of pastoral and spiritual care, with special attention for        Catholic contexts. Practical theologians are presented as cross-border        workers, whose work is to reflect on ambiguous places and borderlands        ‘in between’ positions, disciplines, and fixed identities. Specific        attention goes to questions on hope and power in relation to pastoral        care, on chaplaincy in prisons and hospitals, on children and theology.        This book functions also as an introduction to empirical methodologies        and hermeneutical theological reflections.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546339025239,"sku":"9789042941069","price":52.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/discovering-practical-theology-exploring-boundaries-9789042941069","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
