<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Ray S. Anderson lays out a new and renewing theological foundation for engaging in Christian ministry. Illuminated by discussion and case studies, he shows how a biblically informed approach addresses real issues in Christ's power.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Too often in the life of the church, theological reflection and the practical matters of leading and serving have been considered independently. The result has been the impoverishment of both Christian faith and Christian practice. In this groundbreaking book Ray Anderson reflects theologically <em>and</em> practically on preaching, worship, ethics, social justice, therapy, family, homosexuality, burnout in ministry, reconciliation in relationships and theological education itself. The result is <em>The Shape of Practical Theology, </em> a new and renewing foundation for engaging in Christian ministry. Anderson lays out his threefold goal as follows: </p><ul> <li>to define more clearly the shape of practical theology as truly a theological enterprise rather than mere mastery of skills and methods</li> <li>to demonstrate the praxis of practical theology as critical engagement with the interface between the word of God as revealed through Scripture and the work of God taking place in and through the church in the world</li> <li>to deal with practical pastoral theology from the perspective of those who are on the field of play of life and ministry, where preaching, counseling and teaching does affect for many persons the outcome of the game</li> </ul><p>Illuminated by stimulating discussion and helpful case studies, <em>The Shape of Practical Theology</em> is aimed at seminary students, at Christian educators, and at working pastors and counselors. Anderson's work, fascinating and fruitful, brings together the Word of God with the Spirit of God in the ever-changing context of real-life ministry.
