Five Pathways to Wholeness

Examines five pathways to wholeness within the Christian tradition of pastoral care: biblical counselling; the healing ministries; pastoral counselling; spiritual direction, and social change. These journeys into wholeness are examined in terms of their distinctive theologies, spiritualities and practical outworkings.

Five Pathways to Wholeness examines a variety of approaches to pastoral care: biblical counselling, the healing ministries, pastoral counselling, spiritual direction and social change. Bringing together material from a range of sources, and offering numerous engaging real-life illustrations, the author compares and evaluates each of the five approaches in its own right. At the same time, he encourages those who favour a particular pathway to respect and understand the raison d'être of the other four. All five, he believes, can move to a more truly 'integrational' theological and psychological viewpoint.
