Drinking from the Same Well: Cross-Cultural Concerns in Pastoral Care and Counseling
"This thanks of a collective heart to Lydia Johnson . . .For disarming us with difficult questions so tenderly put . . .For writing so accessibly, her scholarship down to earth and sea . . .For living long in the spaces where such lessons hide and abide . . .For paying attention with the eye of heart and mind . . .For pausing on this journey to drink so deep."-Bill Wylie-Kellermannauthor of Seasons of Faith and Conscience"Lydia Johnson has written a most timely book in terms of need. The most usual lines of inquiry for a diasporic and cross-cultural inquiry into the Christian faith have focussed on biblical hermeneutics, theological revision, and matters to do with culture and the refashioning of identity. Here we have a key text that concentrates upon pastoral care and counselling. It is speaking into the globalized world of the mass migrations of people and speaking into the consequences of such."-Clive PearsonHead of School, School of Theology,Charles Sturt University --Wipf and Stock Publishers
