domestic violence! Men's Work in Preventing Violence Against Women

their religious training to form partnerships between men and women

the fight to end violence against women? How can religion become a
resource for men working to become allies with women? What
strategies can men use to help end violence against women? Men's

Men in our culture are experiencing various crises to which pastors
and pastoral caregivers are called to respond. These crises include
changing role definitions and gender expectations, as well as
diminishing economic opportunities. In light of these crises, men
need new foundations for self-esteem and identity and new support
for changing. With their different experiences and specialties, the
contributors to The Care of Men examine some crises and provide
helpful ideas for caregivers in diverse situations with diverse
populations of men.
Feminist and womanist theology has reoriented an entire way of
understanding our relationships to one another, to creation, and to
God. Feminist social theory has reshaped education, psychotherapy,
leadership, decision-making, collaborative work, and family life.
Little has been done, however, to bring these fields together to
enrich the theory, theology, and practice of ministry. This book
brings together the best in feminist and womanist scholarship that
deals with the work of ministry in a one-volume format. It offers
the most relevant, effective, and transformative approaches to
ministry as it develops a feminist and womanist practical
theology.
