Reconstructing Pastoral Theology: A Christological Foundation

by Andrew Purves

Book Overview

In Pastoral Care in the Classical Tradition , Andrew Purves argued that pastoral care and theology has long ignored Scripture and Christian doctrine, and pastoral practice has become secularized in both method and goal, the fiefdom of psychology and the social sciences. He builds further on this idea here, presenting a christological basis for ministry and pastoral theology.
