Journal
of Pastoral Theology
|
The Society publishes
the Journal of Pastoral Theology, co-edited by John Patton and Nancy Ramsay,
with book reviews edited by Pat Davis (see Contact Infomation). The Journal
has been published annually since 1991, and plans call for semi-annual
publication in the near future. The Journal is also available online through
the American Theological Libraries Association Serials project.
The mission of the
Journal of Pastoral Theology is:
- to further the
understanding of pastoral theology as a theological discipline and to
clarify the nature of the discipline.
- to maintain a view
of pastoral theology as a constructive theology growing out of the exercise
of caring relationships, with attention both to present lived experience
and to knowledge derived from the past;
- to provide an intentional
forum for the voices of diverse persons, women and men, of many cultural
and ethnic backgrounds;
- to foster multi-cultural
understandings of issues in the discipline;
- to promote and
encourage multi-discipline/multi-cultural research in the field of pastoral
theology;
- to provide resources
for those who teach and those who study, through recording current research
and assessing the relevant literature;
- to provide for
the construction of sound theological principles for guideance and critique
of pastoral practice; and to work creatively, synthesizing and constructing,
to define the frontiers and parameters of the discipline.
