Download or read book Practical Theology and the Interpretation of Crossing Boundaries written by Bert Roebben and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2003 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 2002 the Tilburg Professor of Practical Theology, Tjeu van Knippenberg, retired. In order to honour him as a bright scholar in the field of fundamental practical theology and pastoral care, 23 of his colleagues at Tilburg University and elsewhere (Nijmegen and Leuven) contributed to this festschrift. Their attention is focused on the concept of boundaries in practical theology: between context and Christian tradition, church and society, personal identity and Christian narrative, individual and community. Different research projects out of the Tilburg tradition of practical theology are presented from an empirical-hermeneutical perspective.
