Description

With generative wisdom, Gerkin moves beyond the predominance of the psychotherapeutic paradigm in pastoral care to a dynamic, interactive process which balances faith, culture, community, and individual well-being. . . . Gerkin's history of pastoral care is skillful. . . . His analysis of the current transitions in the field of care will make this book a classic. -Jeanne Stevenson Moessner, Columbia Theological Seminary

Charles V. Gerkin is the Franklin Parker Professor of Pastoral Theology, Emeritus, at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. (1997)
