General Objective:
Offer theoretical foundations for particular pastoral activities, as well as for further studies of specialization.
Specific Objectives:
- Explore the historical roots of Pastoral Theology as a proper form of theological reflection, linked, on the one hand, to biblical, systematic, moral, and spiritual theological traditions, and on the other, to human, personal and social activities. - Study the current understandings of Pastoral Theology from a specific Catholic approach. - Clarify the terms “pastoral” and “practical”, and the question of which is more appropriate to refer to the discipline. - Provide a theological pastoral mind-set for ministry.
