{"product_id":"pastoral-care-in-context-9780664229948","title":"Pastoral Care in Context","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn expert in the field of pastoral care, John Patton demonstrates that pastoral care is a ministry of the church. He focuses on the community of faith as an authorizer and source of care and upon the relationship between the pastor and a caring community. Patton identifies and compares three paradigms of pastoral care: the classical, the clinical pastoral, and the communal contextual. This third paradigm emphasizes the caring community and the various contexts for care rather than focusing on pastoral care as the work of the ordained pastor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Westminster John Knox Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780664229948","brand":"Westminster John Knox Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40083974291571,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":32.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_87f4c817-7df0-4d28-85d2-0cd2cb8dbf99.jpg?v=1652365133","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/pastoral-care-in-context-9780664229948","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
