description: The introductory material by Stone and Duke is very illuminating.... Schleiermacher's insistence upon the congregation as the context for pastoral care gives remarkable insight into the importance of pastoral initiative in caring for persons. This book is one to be read, marked and inwardly digested by students, pastors, specialists in pastoral counseling and theological faculties regardless of specialty. The integration of theological wisdom, wise practice, and contemplative devotion Schleiermacher describes provides a workable pastoral identity that is deeply needed today. ? Wayne E.
