Cover... Related Items Theology Bible Study | This book documents an unprecedented three-year study centered on
the story of the encounter of Jesus with a Samaritan woman. The study
involved a unique partnership of committed and creative ordinary
readers, expert teachers and other pastoral leaders, and Bible and
theology scholars, representing many countries in five continents. The
book starts with a through description of the research project together
with colorful windows on the actual experience of groups who read the
John 4 story and interacted with other readers from very different
cultural backgrounds. It continues with several case studies that
helpfully focus and deepen these observations, with special attention
to contextual and intercontextual dynamics. Then follow critical
analyses of various dimensions of the hermeneutical and communication
process involved in the experience. Finally, a number of implications
are drawn for practical theology and theological education,
hermeneutical practices and studies, and ecumenical and missiological
endeavors. Copyright 2004 Institute of Mennonite Studies | |

Related Items Leadership Theology | "This clear look at pastoral counseling from an Anabaptist-Mennonite perspective
focuses on the congregation as the locus for pastoral counseling. The writers make a
convincing case for pastoral counseling as a ministry of the church. Yet their
examination of pastoral counseling in other settings and in various cultural contexts
broadens the discussion of where and how pastoral counseling can be practiced."-
Homer U. Ashby Jr., W. Clement and Jessie V. Stone Professor of Pastoral Care,
