Practical Theology -and-the Ministry of the Church 1952-1984

What does academic theology have to do with the practice of faith? How has practical theology developed in recent decades, and what does its future hold?

Such questions are the focus of these essays in honor of Edmund P. Clowney. former president of Westminster Theological Seminary. An able biblical theologian in his own right. Dr. Clowney firmly rooted the discipline of practical theology in the inerrant Word of God. He brought to every class-whether homiletics or Christian education, missions or ecclesiology-biblical insights shaped by his studies in the history of special revelation.

Written by colleagues and friends, this volume examines the concerns and directions of practical theology with special emphasis on the contributions of Dr. Clowney to that field.
