Learn new approaches for strengthening the religious bonds of our
aging population! Through Scripture, studies, and the personal
experiences of religious leaders and congregants, Practical
Theology for Aging offers new concepts for ministering to our older
population. Each chapter looks at a different concern for the
elderly and addresses it with the assurance that aging is part of
God's great work. From scientific models and case studies to
passages from both the Old and New Testaments, this volume
illuminates the power of faith in keeping the elderly whole and
well. Practical Theology for Aging reveals several barriers to the
spiritual wellness of our elders. These include society's
stereotypical views of frailty and incompetence in older people,
the lack of common support by communities of faith, and the
dissatisfaction of the elderly with outdated, traditional answers
to their concerns of aging, suffering, and death. Each barrier can
be overcome by utilizing the practical theology you will find in
this book. Restated throughout the volume is the message that the
journey into old age does not have to be filled with dread and fear
but can be seen as a path to spiritual maturity. This book has
practical suggestions that address: God's purpose for agingwhy do

inclusion into the religious community.
