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.
