An Introduction to Pastoral Care

Rating:
Summary: A Fine Introduction
Review: Charles Gerkin does an excellent job of surveying the history of pastoral care and making the field of pastoral care relevant in the present context of the parish. This is an exellent text for both the classroom and the parish, because it does address these relevant themes.

Rating:
Summary: Full of information and jargon
Review: Here's an informative book from a man with a lot of theoretical and practical experience. It also reads like any corporate rhetoric from the 1990's: full of buzzwords like "schema" and "paradigmatic". If you can deal with the jargon, you can learn quite a bit.
