curriculum at both Protestant and Catholic European universities. And
yet, despite the recent proliferation of English-language scholarly
resources in practical theology, there are few explicitly Catholic
resources or collections in practical theology. This book provides a
view of Catholic practical theological scholarship across different
international contexts, including Germany, Austria, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Canada, India, Croatia, Nigeria, Mexico, the United States,
Australia, and the Philippines. Contributions encompass a variety of
disciplines, methods, research foci, and communicative styles. Chapters
address intersections, for example, between practical theology and moral
theology, missiology, liturgical/sacramental theology, pastoral
psychology, empirical theology, ecclesiology, education, poetics, and
spirituality studies. The volume engages theoretical meta-questions
(such as the relationship between practical theology, ‘lived religion’,
and empirical theology) and a range of urgent concrete issues (such as
clerical sexual violence, religion and violence or gender issues). This
volume thus makes a needed contribution to the wider discipline of
practical theology and to Catholic theology as it seeks to stimulate
further discussion and research among practical theologians and scholars
in other related disciplines, both within the Catholic context and
within other academic and ecclesial contexts.
