The Wiley Blackwell Reader in Practical Theology

Contains a general introduction to the discipline, featuring classic and pioneering essays that address the history, methods, issues, and exemplary illustrations of research, teaching, and practice

Presenting a diverse collection of landmark essays, The Wiley-Blackwell Reader in Practical Theology explores the turn-of-the-century renaissance of practical theology as an academic discipline and shows how the discipline has advanced a steady epistemological insurgency in theology throughout the twentieth- and twenty-first century. The text provides scholars, students, and ministerial professionals with easy access to original seminal sources that represent major milestones, growing edges, and useful classificatory rubrics. A handy, one-volume primer to practical theology, the book:

• Offers an excellent bird's-eye-view of the discipline's essential foundational contributions
• Provides significant introductory overview material helpful in guiding both new and experienced readers to practical theology
• Includes brief overview introductions before each essay to situate the reading and highlight key contributions and occasional limitations
• Features essay selections that consider race, gender, sexuality, age, and other differences as a critical subtheme

The Wiley-Blackwell Reader in Practical Theology is an indispensable resource for students, faculty, and professionals in practical theology and colleagues in related cognate disciplines in theological education and religious studies.
