Presenting a diverse collection of landmark essays, The Wiley-Blackwell Reader in Practical Theology explores the turn-of-the-century renaissance of practical theology as an academic discipline and shows how the discipline has advanced a steady epistemological insurgency in theology throughout the twentieth- and twenty-first century.

A handy, one-volume primer to practical theology, the book:

Provides significant introductory overview material helpful in guiding both new and experienced readers to practical theology
Includes brief overview introductions before each essay to situate the reading and highlight key contributions and occasional limitations
