"The volume brings together six classic articles that might otherwise be difficult to locate, with seventeen newly commissioned articles from leading authors internationally. The selection of articles has been informed by thorough consultation with teachers of pastoral theology worldwide. Editorial comment on the readings helps readers to understand the context of the material."--BOOK JACKET.
