Justice Matters : Spiritual Care and Pastoral Theological Imaginations in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Paperback / softback Book

Justice Matters : Spiritual Care and Pastoral Theological Imaginations in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic Paperback / softback

Edited by Kyungsig Samuel (Claremont School of Theology, USA) Lee, Danjuma G. (Calvin Theological Seminary, USA) Gibson

Paperback / softback

Description

The nine chapters in this book, along with a critical introduction, address complex theological issues relating to structural inequalities of our society, exacerbated by the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pastoral theology as an academic discipline is not a value-free enterprise.

This book strives to speak against all forms of injustice and to advocate for those who suffer under existing structural inequalities because such a liberative and social transformative task constitutes the fundamental work of pastoral theology.

Each chapter in this book analyses how private problems of individuals are occurring within the immediate world of experience with public issues historically, socially, and politically.

As a whole, this book addresses racial injustice, ableism, foster family care, and issues faced by Christian churches during the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Pastoral Theology.
