This introductory text serves as a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of practical theology. Edited by two past presidents of the Association of Practical Theology, each chapter is written by a leader in the field, incorporating a spectrum of Christian denominations.
This book introduces the field of practical theology through an examination of fifteen different approaches-ranging from feminist to liberationist, Roman Catholic to evangelical, Asian American to Latino/a. Written by leading experts, each chapter has an identical structure to facilitate comparison and will help readers understand the diverse ways practical theology is engaged today.
