(Continuing the work begun in The Living Human Document, C...)
Continuing the work begun in The Living Human Document, Charles V. Gerkin develops his efforts to do pastoral and practical theology in a hermeneutical mode. Probing the disintigration of norms within the church and within society at large, Gerkin proposes that counselors can no longer simply use secular helping techniques, but must embody the core values of Christianity in providing counseling.
