McMaster Studies in Practical Theology - A série de livros

The learning paradigm at McMaster Divinity College is summarized and guided by three deceptively simple words: Knowing, Being, Doing. In many senses, Knowing and Doing are significantly easier to qualify and quantify, while Being is notoriously elusive. Nonetheless, in practical theology, a discipline that is difficult to narrowly define but inevitably has something to do with what can be learned theologically and theoretically from our practice(s), it is the study (Knowing) about our practice (Doing) that ultimately leads to potential for impact on who we are (Being) and how we relate to God. Many could argue that it is our practices and our approaches to practices (of ministry, of service, of reflection, to name a few) that both reveal and shape who we are. In this series, the McMaster Studies in Practical Theology, we offer space for those who are investigating practices that offer something to theology even if they are not overtly theological, to provide a place to publish significant work on this exciting and diverse discipline, and to draw on their investigations and observations of practice(s) to contribute to the larger conversation and fields of research. Recent graduates from MDC who have invested their academic research in this broad area are welcome to submit manuscripts for possible inclusion in the series, but we also invite both new and well-seasoned academic writers from around the world to submit your work for possible publication.
