Know how to answer those most-asked questionsby using a scriptural
perspective The search for answers remains a valuable catalyst for
the growth of personal faith. Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of
Inquiry provides a fresh approach to answering questions of
personal growth, facing problems, and building community. The
questions most asked of today's pastors and pastoral counselors are
answered by integrating psychological with biblical/Christian
perspectives. Jesus' own questions from scripture are presented as
a response to those difficult questions, sparking a self-reflective
personal dialogue that illuminates as well as inspires. As each of
us journeys through life, urgent questions arise even for the most
faithful. Each chapter of Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of
Inquiry takes parishioners' most-asked questions about the basic
issues of life, death, and faith, and connects them with Jesus'
questions from scripture, allowing a new depth of introspection and
thought. These questions open a free flow of ideas that refreshes
personal perspectives and leads to a spiritual resolution for the
issue at hand. Jesus' teachings spring to life through the
questions from the gospels and the probing thoughts of contemporary
authors and scholars, stimulating a productive inner dialogue and
positive direction for reflection. Each chapter is carefully
referenced and includes helpful exercises and questions for group
discussion, counseling conversations, or personal contemplation.
Appendixes are included with complete listings of Jesus' questions
from the gospels as well as a complete bibliography to facilitate
further research. Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of Inquiry
discusses these questions often asked of pastors: Where do I find
meaning in life? How can I succeed? What can I do to protect my
children? How can I know which leaders to trust? What can I do
about my battle with depression? What can I do about my burnout and
fatigue? How can I know God loves me? What is prayer? What happens
when I pray? Why is my prayer unanswered? Why is there suffering?
Where do I find hope? What happens when I die? What can I do about
the pain of grief? Ask Anything: A Pastoral Theology of Inquiry is
inspiring, eye-opening reading perfect for pastoral and other
Christian counselors, ministers with responsibility for preaching,
and any layperson hoping to gather greater insight into Jesus'
personal answers to their own questions.
