Riassunto

There is an urgent need today to deepen and enrich the pastoral dimension of Sunday worship. This book attempts to meet that need. The practical guidance that is offered has its foundation in rigorous and comprehensive theological reflection. This reflection draws not only on the riches of the Christian heritage, but also on some wonderfully illuminating psychological research.

The conversation between the two disciplines yields some very interesting and important new ideas on worship as pastoral care. Each chapter consists of a theoretical base and a number of practical suggestions and resources. Most of the prayers, litanies, and rituals are original; there are also references to other useful worship resources. This book will revolutionize the way you think about worship as pastoral care.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'This is not a lightweight book, although that should not imply it is a difficult read. It is well written, approachable and important, not least since it addresses one of the most significant pastoral dilemmas, the gap that has grown between the tasks of pastoral care and the rhythms of worship and liturgy in the church.' --Regent's Reviews, April 2011
