Abstract The spiritual care of dying children and their families requires both sensitivity and competence. Parents – and adults, in general – not only recognize an intrinsic value in children, but also see them as important symbols of hope and as promise for the future. Hence, hope may be challenged when a child is facing death. From the field of spiritual and practical theology, this research attempts to correlate the experience of children and families, and Christian sources on hope. Particular attention is given to the importance of bodies and space, desires and fears, as well as to the role of narratives in order to deepen the meaning of hope in situations that seem bereft of it.

Abstract Over the past few decades, practical theologians in Korea have devised a framework to address important issues, correlating theory and practice and bridging the divide between pastors and lay people to facilitate open communication. However, the clerical paradigm has deep roots in Korean culture and ideology, which, combined with the Confucian patriarchal system, poses a challenge to Korean practical theology. These factors cause practical theology to reflect on its limitations and to move toward a hermeneutical-praxis paradigm by dealing with Christian praxis, connecting church with society for public responsibility, and providing an egalitarian leadership between pastors and lay people.

Abstract This article honours the rich contexts from which liberation theologies and decolonial insights emerge. It includes an invitation to practical theologians to be mindful of the long-standing intellectual traditions behind these strands. The authors summarize and distinguish the crucial insights and points of differences as they argue for rigorous practical theological methods. They draw from their concrete experiences in the Americas to show the intricate possibilities of using liberation and decolonial thinking in practical theology.

Abstract This article seeks to construct a model for holistic Christian teaching grounded in the trinitarian kenotic praxis of love from the practical theological perspective. As a praxis of mutual caring, Christian teaching is considered as participating in and modelling the trinitarian kenotic praxis of love to help learners live the eschatological reign of God in the world. Christian teaching is a hermeneutic process and an interdisciplinary and missional enterprise that emphasizes conversation and solidarity with the world.

Abstract This review article focusses on three new texts in Pastoral theology, each of which, offers an important and interesting turn in the discipline. The three texts – Caring For Souls in a Neo-Liberal Age, by Bruce Rogers-Vaughn1, Race, Religion, and Resilience in the Neo-Liberal Age, by Cedric C. Johnson2 and Care of Souls, Care of Polis by Ryan Lamothe1 – will be reviewed in light of the prevailing themes they share. In what ways are these three authors foregrounding important new dimensions in the study of Pastoral theology and Pastoral care?
