For Life Abundant: Practical Theology, Theological Education, and Christian Ministry - Paperback
by Dorothy C. Bass (Editor), Craig Dykstra (Editor)
What does it mean to lead a truly "life-giving way of life"? What kinds of learning and teaching will best prepare ministers to foster such a way of life in their congregations? How might teachers of practical theology best understand and undertake their task to educate and form ministers? Respected scholars and ministers explore such questions in For Life Abundant, probing and clarifying the significance of practical theology in the classroom, in the wider academy, and in actual ministry settings.Contributors: Dorothy C.
