This book is an edited volume of works that have predominated over
the past several decades in contemporary pastoral theology. Through
the writings of nineteen leading voices in the history of pastoral
care, Dykstra shows how each contributor developed a metaphor for
understanding pastoral care. Such metaphors include the solicitous
shepherd, the wounded healer, the intimate stranger, the midwife,
and other tangible images. Through these works, the reader gains a
sense of the varied identities of pastoral care professionals,
their struggles for recognition in this often controversial field,
and insight into the history of the disciple. Images of Pastoral
Care includes readings by Anton Boisen, Alastair Campbell, Donald
Capps, James Dittes, Robert Dykstra, Heije Faber, Charles Gerkin,
Brita Gill-Austern, Karen Hanson, Seward Hiltner, Margaret Zipse
Kornfeld, Bonnie Miller-McLemore, Jeanne Stevenson Moessner, Henri
Nouwen, Gaylord Noyce, Paul Pruyser, and Edward Wimberly.
