Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm.
The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality,
and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities,
refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders,
whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are
shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers
insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious
matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The
first section presents 'concepts of religion'. Chapters have to do
with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the
fields of 'anthropology', 'community', 'family', 'institution',
'law', 'media', and 'politics' among others. The second section is
dedicated to case studies of 'religious practices' from the
perspective of their actors. The third section presents major
theoretical discourses that explore the globally significant
diversity and multiplicity of religion. Altogether, sixty-one
authors from different parts of the world encourage a rethinking of
religious practice in an expanded, transcultural, globalized, and
postcolonial world.
