{"product_id":"the-edward-wimberly-reader-a-black-pastoral-theology","title":"Edward Wimberly Reader","description":"The Civil Rights era was a time of national examination and a moment of great ferment within black churches. Their ministries required new expressions of pastoral theology and care. Soon after the emergence of Black Theology as an academic discourse, distinctively African American approaches to pastoral theology and care were articulated within theological education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1979, Edward Powell Wimberly has been a distinguished and influential voice in the field of pastoral theology and care, especially in African American contexts. Wimberly's career has been dedicated to communicating the love of God for all people in the aftermath of America's original sin - racism. \u003ci\u003eThe Edward Wimberly Reader\u003c\/i\u003e hosts a selection of Wimberly's most vital writings, beginning the important work of expanding the historical record in the field of pastoral theology and care to include the role of African American scholars. Wimberly's various works reflect his social and political engagements, spanning the arenas of congregation and community with a prophetic public theology. At the same time, Wimberly's constructive presentations of African American pastoral care inform pastoral theology methodologies through contextual and narrative approaches to counseling and restorative care practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn essential collection for students and academics alike, \u003ci\u003eThe Edward Wimberly Reader\u003c\/i\u003e communicates the convictions of a deeply faithful scholar, practitioner, and teacher who changed the conversation by stressing the importance of race, culture, and economics within contexts of pastoral care. Wimberly's corpus offers a faith-inspired vision of a more holistic and life-giving social order, where discrimination is redressed and communities of mutual concern support the flourishing of all.","brand":"Baylor University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917236257112,"sku":"9781481312448","price":59.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781481312448_87245736-0514-4342-a94b-0871fe1e6772.jpg?v=1778806837","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-edward-wimberly-reader-a-black-pastoral-theology","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
