Product Description

Book Description

Aging, Spirituality, and Religion, Volume 1 published in 1995 by Fortress Press, provided the sociological, psychological, and theological perspectives for examining the ways in which spirituality and religion are experienced by aging persons in our society. As such, it provided the theoretical foundations for considering aging, spirituality and religion. Volume II picks up where Volume I left off-with practical advice and tools for ministry with the aging in a variety of settings. Gerontological and theological perspectives undergird the practical guidance and a final section treats of the unique ethical issues involved in ministry with the aging. Contributors: Melvin A.

First Sentence
I choose the word "pilgrimage" instead of "journey" in the title of this chapter, although the latter is much more in use in today's literature. Read the first page

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Aging, Spirituality, And Religion, A Handbook: volume 2 (Paperback)

The volume offers a compendium of articles with insights into the eldering process and how seeing the spiritual side of the person opens new doors to understanding both of self and the situations that those who are growing in years find thensleves in over time. Areas addressed include spirtual potential,faith communities, pastoral caare, etical issues, theological perspectives and looking to the future. An essential read for those who work with elders and those who shape programming and funding regarding the needs of the elders in our society. Well edited and easy to select articles in random fashion depending on your need or focus.
