Practical Theology - International Perspectives

by Friedrich Schweitzer (Editor)

This is the first international collection on practical theology as a discipline. It reflects a remarkable new interest in contributions from other countries and other parts of the world. Internationalization, globalization, new challenges for Christianity and religion in general - between secularization, pluralization, and privatization - require international perspectives in practical theology. The present volume brings together contributions from various European countries, from the US and Canada as well as from Africa and Asia, combining a wide range of foundational, theoretical, methodological, and experiential perspectives.
