2nd Hand - Feminist And Womanist Pastoral Theology By Bonnie J Miller-McLemore & Brita L Gill-Austern

2nd hand in as new condition 1999

In the last decade, the focus of pastoral theology has shifted dramatically from care defined as counselling to care understood within a wider social, political and religious context. Feminist and womanist theory as well as feminist and womanist faith convictions have played a key role in this development. They have begun to reconstruct the definitions, parameters and commitments of pastoral care and counselling. These changes have critical implications for care within congregations and for the understanding of theology in seminaries and divinity schools.
