Publisher's Description

▼▲

Grounded in the Living Word responds to the disconnect between pastoral care and biblical interpretation in a unique — and much-needed — manner. In this cross-disciplinary conversation Denise Dombkowski Hopkins and Michael S. Koppel engage the intersections between biblical stories and human stories in order to assist care practitioners and Bible interpreters in the transformative work of healing pastors, communities, and ultimately, creation.
