Biblical Studies and Spiritual Care: Intersections of Pastoral Praxis and Biblical Hermeneutics


Program Unit Type: Consultation
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: This unit explores the mutual contribution of biblical and related literature and Spiritual Care (hereafter, SC). What new hermeneutical insights can scholars, students, and practitioners of SC, in the different contexts they work in, provide to biblical literature? And what corpus of texts, methods, approaches, and conceptual tools can biblical scholars offer to SC? This unit aims at integrating in biblical scholarship the hermeneutical perspectives offered by the multifarious contexts of SC and highlights the relevance of biblical literature for the training/professionalization of chaplains.
